Since 1753, Hampden Estate has been an icon in the Jamaican rum world, located in the legendary Trelawny Parish – the “grand cru” of Jamaican rum. Renowned for its powerful and aromatic heavy pot still rums, the distillery remains faithful to traditional methods that deliver unmatched intensity and complexity.
The Great House series, released annually since 2019, is an exclusive tribute to the distillery’s historic mansion, built in 1779. The 2025 edition is the seventh release, a carefully crafted blend of different marks and vintages that together capture the soul of Hampden Estate.
Tasting Notes

Nose: Rich and intense with fermented pineapple, vanilla, and candied ginger, enhanced by subtle hints of varnish.
-
Palate: Full and generous. Dominated by ripe banana, followed by smoky empyreumatic notes, licorice, and a touch of dried chili. Powerful yet perfectly balanced.
