Cadenhead's 1992 Hampden HLCF Jamaica 13yo 66.2% 700ml is a Jamaican rum from the renowned Hampden Estate, distilled in 1992 and aged for 13 years before being bottled in 2006 by Cadenhead's at a robust 66.2% ABV. This specific release highlights the HLCF mark, known for capturing the essence of Jamaican rum's complexity without the overwhelming presence of overripe fruits and meatiness often associated with the region's funkier expressions. This rum is a true testament to the craftsmanship of the Hampden distillery, offering a rich and multifaceted flavor profile that stands out in any collection.
The rum presents a straw color and a nose that is an intriguing blend of smoky pineapple, banana, fermented notes, marzipan, and citrus. Upon tasting, the intensity and warmth are immediate, delivering hot pineapple, a hint of salt, astringent and spicy undertones, marzipan, and the signature Jamaican funk. The finish is long and memorable with lingering pineapple and lemon notes.
