The Kill Devil 1998 Hampden Single Cask 17yo rum is a unique and aromatic expression from the renowned Hampden distillery. Known for its heavy use of solvents and massive molasses fermentation, Hampden produces some of the most distinctive rums in the world. This limited edition rum, bottled at 46% ABV and available in a 700ml size, offers an unforgettable tasting experience. On the nose, this rum is rounded yet surprising, with a prominent grilled character. The 46% ABV packs a punch, but it is well-balanced by sweet, pastry-like notes of almond paste and cherries. As the rum opens up, a hint of smoky meatiness emerges, adding to its rustic and earthy character with notes of truffle and olive. However, the true magic of Hampden shines through as the rum reveals an infinite paradise of exotic fruits that are ripe and bursting with flavor. The palate is initially greeted by a grilled and slightly burnt character, reminiscent of nuts roasted over open flames. This gives way to a thick and resinous sweetness, akin to rich syrup, before returning to the grilled notes that dominate the finish. Hampden distillery is celebrated for its expertise in producing both light and heavy rums, all distilled in pot stills. The Kill Devil 1998 Hampden Single Cask 17yo rum is a testament to this craftsmanship, offering a complex and layered tasting experience that is both surprising and delightful. With only 341 bottles available, this 17-year-old rum from the 1998 batch is a collector's gem that provides an exceptional journey through a spectrum of flavors and aromas.
