The Compagnie des Indes 1983 Hampden Jamaica Cask Strength Wooden Box 33-year-old rum is an extraordinary treasure for rum connoisseurs. Distilled in 1983 at the renowned Hampden Distillery in Jamaica, this rum embodies over three decades of meticulous aging. Bottled in 2016 by Florent Beuchet of La Compagnie des Indes, this edition was crafted for the Hong Kong market, making it exceptionally rare, with only 250 bottles available worldwide. This rum has been bottled brut de fut, meaning it is cask strength at an impressive 54.1% ABV, untouched and unreduced. It comes presented in an exquisite wooden box, further cementing its place as a collector’s item. The Hampden Distillery is celebrated for its high-ester, full-flavoured rums, and this 33-year-old release is a testament to its storied legacy. The maturation process, carried out in European warehouses, has allowed the rum to develop a sophisticated and complex profile, rich with dried fruits, spices, and earthy undertones. The mark HGML, attributed to this rum, highlights the distillery's signature fruity and estery character, making it a standout amongst its peers. On the nose, the rum opens with a strong yet elegant bouquet of esters, raisins, earthy undertones, pineapple, and a refreshing minty scent. The palate reveals a dynamic blend of salty, oily textures complemented by raisin, mango, and ester notes, all delivering a dry and rough edge. The finish is long-lasting, with an oily, dry, and spicy finale that carries a fruity essence. This rum is an ester-forward delight, maintaining a mature character while offering a refined drinking experience.
This bottling was made exclusively for the Hong Kong market, with only 250 bottles produced, making it an exceptionally rare find for collectors and enthusiasts.
