    Producer

    Hampden Estate is located in a privileged region of Jamaica, where nature flourishes in all its splendor. The distillery, surrounded by lush sugarcane fields, benefits from an ideal microclimate. The nutrient-rich volcanic soils foster exceptional sugarcane cultivation, essential for crafting high-quality rums. Distillation is carried out with care, using traditional methods that respect the pure taste of the cane. Every step, from harvest to bottling, is executed with meticulous attention, paying homage to Jamaica's cultural heritage.

    Owner and history

Their commitment to quality and authenticity is at the heart of every step of the process. The owners are dedicated to respecting traditional production methods while incorporating sustainable practices to protect the environment.

    Vinification and aging

    Hampden 8 Year Old Rum is crafted using time-honored methods. The sugarcane is hand-harvested and then naturally fermented, allowing the aromas to fully develop. Distillation takes place in copper pot stills, capturing the very essence of Caribbean flavors. After distillation, the rum is aged in oak barrels, where it develops its complexity and unique character. This eight-year aging process imparts woody notes and an aromatic depth that will delight spirits connoisseurs.
