The Duchess 2007 Jamaica 13yo is an exquisite limited-edition rum that encapsulates the tropical essence and industrial character of Hampden Distillery's unique production process. Distilled in 2007 and aged for 13 years before being bottled in 2021, this rum is a true testament to the art of high ester rum-making that Hampden is renowned for. With an impressive ABV of 66.9%, it promises a powerful sensory experience. Only 197 bottles of this gem exist, making it a collector's treasure. The aroma offers a journey through an exotic fruit market, evoking ripe bananas, pineapple juice, and a mix of berries, particularly currants. Complementing these fruity notes are intriguing hints of raw honey, light vanilla, and crème fraîche, which evolve into the more botanical scents of leafy sugarcane, pimento, hay, and lavender. The industrial undertones of nail polish remover, automotive paintshop, hot glue, and a fleeting whiff of petrol add complexity and depth to this remarkable rum. On the palate, The Duchess 2007 reveals a bold, fruity character, dominated by pineapple and banana with a balancing touch of glue and butter. It carries a subtle funkiness that aficionados of high ester rums will appreciate. Despite its high alcohol content, the integration is masterful, making the experience both intense and enjoyable. The finish is long and memorable, with drying and astringent notes lingering alongside the sweetness of pineapple, vanilla, glue, and a hint of cream toffee. This rum offers a balanced yet complex profile, striking a unique harmony between its powerful flavors and industrial edge.
