- Oloroso sherry butts
A Jamaican rum matured entirely in former Oloroso sherry butts under tropical conditions. For this third edition, rums from 16 casks from Bodegas Fundador were married; the 500-litre casks had previously held Oloroso for up to thirty years. It combines Hampden's ester-rich distillery style with Jerez cask culture.
It carries the HLCF mark, Hampden Light Continental Flavoured, with an ester content of 374.1 grams per hectolitre of pure alcohol. Fruity and fermentative impressions meet woody and oxidative influences from the sherry casks. It is bottled at 52%, with no added sugar, no colouring and no chill filtration.
Hampden Estate in Trelawny has a history dating to 1753 and ferments for eight to fifteen days with wild yeasts before distilling exclusively in copper pot stills.
Tasting Notes
Rich and layered: clove and roasted walnut with blood orange, apricot kernel and brandy-soaked cherries; with air, almonds, then date notes and a hint of coffee liqueur.
Powerful and lively with raw sugar, chestnut honey and tropical blossoms, then vanilla and cocoa beans with fine tannins; camphor and geranium appear in the aftertaste.
Long and full: coconut milk and honeysuckle bring a fresh floral side with lacquer notes, then light tobacco, lime blossom, peppery rose and coriander; walnut and raisins linger.
