A full bodied Jamaican rum, aged for a minimum of 7 years in a tropical climate (said to age over 3 times as fast as Europe). A natural, long fermentation results in no sugar or colour being added, then distilled in a traditional pot still at the Hampden Estate. Bottled at 45%, an excellent Jamaican Rum.
Tasting Notes
Hampden Estate Rum Producer Notes
Nose: Pineapple, passion fruit and new-car leather. Candied and jellied fruit notes develop: papaya, guava, lime, Seville orange, blood orange and nectarine. Banana and toasted spice notes build, with prominent clove notes.
Palate: The spice and bananas lead: creamy banana pie with a generous dusting of ground clove and cinnamon. The banana remains as apples and pineapples roll in. Dark and weight oily notes sneak in behind.
Finish: Cinnamon spice and sweet banana fade to reveal apple jam and mint.
Comment: Layers and layers of fruit are carefully balanced by cream and a touch of dark and dirty oiliness.
