Hampden

Pagos
100% ex-sherry cask

Jamaique

The Hampden distillery is specialised in rums with the highest concentrations.

The distillery is equipped with four double-twisted pot stills: the first (John Dore), with a capacity of 7,560 litres, was installed in 1960; the second (Vendôme), with a capacity of 18,900 litres, in 1994; the third (Forsyth), with a capacity of 18,900 litres, in 2010 and the last (TNT), also with a capacity of 18,900 litres, in 2016.
Slow distillations lasting around seven hours produce a rich, powerful new make that comes out of the still at 82%.

   

Aged in a cask with Pagos sherry, this Hampden is absolutely beautiful. With many trips back and forth between Jamaica and Andalusia, its aromatic and taste palette is deeply imbued with these two centuries-old cultures. With an extraordinary richness, it gives off sublime scents of sultanas before revealing infinitely sweet cane sugar flavours.

     

 Tasting notes :                     

Nose: deep, rich. Behind a layer of varnish, the first nose reveals notes of ylang-ylang, clove, artichoke base, roasted walnut, blood orange, apricot stone and cherry brandy with exceptional presence. On aeration, almonds, salt and pepper settle on the surface of the aromatic palette. Rum and sherry wine play as equals. With time, Emeri cloth, camphor, sultanas, dates and a fine coffee liqueur guide the tasting towards Andalusia.

Palate: lively, powerful. A change of scenery at the beginning of the mouth. Indeed, cane sugar and cane honey flow freely on the palate. Tropical flower scents permeate the atmosphere. On the mid-palate, vanilla beans and cocoa beans work in perfect harmony to coat the taste buds with their subtle tannins. Camphorated and heady (geranium), the aftertaste transports us to the Hampden distillery.

Finish: long, dynamic. Strongly infused with cane sugar flavours, the beginning of the finish is refreshed by coconut milk and honeysuckle scents. On the finish, artichoke bottoms and mustard seeds compete with intensity. The aftertaste reveals notes of blond tobacco, lime blossom, peppery rose and coriander. Marked by scents of nuts, dehydrated grapes and dried straw, the empty glass takes us back to southern Spain.

Hampden Estate

After 265 years of production dedicated to confidential bottlings, the Hampden distillery is launching its own aged rums in 2018.

It is, among others, the famous Luca Gargano who, over the last few years, has brought to light the productions of this Jamaican distillery, through his brand: Habitation Velier.

Hampden's Jamaican rums are distinguished by an ancestral manufacturing process and a complete maturation in the tropics.

The Hampden distillery is equipped with four double-twisted pot stills: the first (John Dore), with a capacity of 7,560 litres, was installed in 1960; the second (Vendôme), with a capacity of 18,900 litres, in 1994; the third (Forsyth), with a capacity of 18,900 litres, in 2010 and the last (TNT), also with a capacity of 18,900 litres, in 2016.
The slow distillations, which last around seven hours, produce a rich and powerful new make that comes out of the still at 82%.

Throughout the production of its rum, Hampden uses spring water from the Cockpit Valley. It is rich in microbiological flora and plays a major role in the fermentation process. Hampden does not add any yeast during the fermentation process, which takes place naturally over seven days in open wooden vats.

Since its creation, Hampden has chosen to use pot still distillation. Its rum is therefore part of the very closed circle of Pure Single Rums. The four pot stills allow them to produce both Heavy Rum, very rich in esters, and Light Rum.
