The Roots Hampden <>H 2013 11Y Joint-Botteling with The Antelope 59% 70cl
A bold and limited release from The Roots in collaboration with The Antelope. This 2013 Hampden <>H is a must-have for connoisseurs of high-ester Jamaican rum.
Distilled at the legendary Hampden Estate using 100% pot stills, this rum matured for a total of 11 years – 5 years under tropical conditions in Jamaica and 6 years of continental ageing in Europe. The result is a perfectly balanced expression with intense funk, tropical fruit, and refined oak character.
Tasting Notes:
-
Nose: A classic Hampden bomb – overripe banana, grilled pineapple, green olives, acetone, and hints of spice and oak.
-
Palate: Rich, intense, and oily. Bursting with esters, tropical fruit, citrus peel, subtle vanilla, and a savoury edge. The alcohol is well-integrated.
-
Finish: Long and dry, with lingering notes of fruit, spice, and a touch of salt.
