Cuvée presentation

A single cask (#662) of Hampden distilled in 2012, aged in a bourbon cask and bottled in 2020. Located in north-west Jamaica, in the Parish of Trelawny, Hampden Estate has been producing rum for nearly three centuries (since 1753). Renowned worldwide for their striking aromatic and flavour intensity, they have always distilled exclusively using pot stills. With ester levels between 40–80 g/HL of pure alcohol, this expression is marked OWH—the lightest ester band from this distillery. Produced as part of the “Trelawny Endemic Birds” series, this single cask honours Cockpit Valley, a remarkable biodiversity reserve that is home to many rare bird species. The result is a bold, extroverted and utterly captivating Jamaican rum character. A limited edition of 250 bottles.

The distillery Hampden

Rum, Jamaica. Distillery operational. Owner: Everglades Farms Ltd.

Independent & family-ownedKnown primarily in the rum, perfume and food industries, Hampden began to move out of the shadows in 2009 when the Jamaican government decided to disinvest from the national Jamaica Sugar Company and auctioned off its assets. The family-owned company Everglades Farms Ltd (owned by the Hussey family) secured the lot and became the owner of this gem which is now considered the alter ego of the Scottish distillery Ardbeg. This link with Scotland is no coincidence. Hampden Estate was bought in 1748 by Robert Stirling, who had left Perthshire (Scotland) in 1742. The Hussey family sells two expressions of its rum, including an Overproof which is particularly well-known in the bar and HORECA segment. But it was in 2017, when family-owned Italian (Velier) and French (LMDW) companies began distributing the first old rums, that Hampden really took off, rising to the ranks of the finest rums currently on the market.
