The Kill Devil 2001 Hampden Jamaica Single Cask 17yo 58.8% is a remarkable rum crafted by the renowned independent bottler Hunter Laing under their esteemed Kill Devil line. This exquisite rum hails from the legendary Hampden distillery in Jamaica, known for its high-ester and intensely flavored rums. Distilled in 2001 and aged for 17 years, this single cask release is a rare gem with only 288 bottles available, making it a highly sought-after collector's item. Presented in a striking black bottle adorned with a dancing devil, it is sure to catch the eye of rum aficionados. On the nose, the 2001 Hampden reveals a captivating array of aromas, including pineapple, pastries, honey, marzipan, and citrus, all balanced by a subtle funkiness. The palate is equally intriguing, with flavors of roasted pineapple, almond, banana, musty chocolate, sour burnt sugar, and a hint of rubber. The finish is long and satisfying, featuring notes of pineapple, burnt sugar, woody char, nuttiness, smoky nuances, and a touch of leather. Despite its high ester profile, this rum is surprisingly well-rounded and balanced, creating a multifaceted and enjoyable experience for both seasoned connoisseurs and those new to Hampden’s unique style.
