Origin & Background
Distilled in 2014 at the legendary Hampden Estate in Jamaica, this rum is produced from molasses using traditional long fermentation and pot still distillation—hallmarks of Hampden’s unmistakable high-ester style. Selected and bottled by Swell de Spirits as part of their Anniversary series, this release is presented in its natural state, without chill filtration or added colouring.
Tasting Profile
• Nose: Explosive and vibrant, with intense aromas of overripe banana, pineapple, glue, varnish, and citrus peel, layered with olive brine and warm spice.
• Palate: Bold, oily, and full-throttle, delivering waves of tropical esters, fermented fruit, molasses, black pepper, liquorice, and a powerful yet well-integrated alcohol presence.
• Finish: Exceptionally long and warming, with lingering esters, savoury notes, and a dry, spicy, almost smoky persistence.
