The Hampden Estate 2010 Rare Cask Series HLCF Single Cask No.80 is a remarkable 12-year-old rum crafted by one of Jamaica's oldest and most renowned rum producers, Hampden Estate Distillery. Known for their distinctive high-ester rums, Hampden Estate has built a prestigious reputation for producing some of the finest rums globally. This particular expression was meticulously distilled in a pot still from molasses and aged for twelve years in a bourbon cask made from American white oak. The tropical climate of Jamaica significantly influences the maturation process, resulting in a cask strength rum with a robust alcohol content of 61.3%. This limited-edition rum, with only around 250 bottles available, is a collaboration between Hampden Estate and the esteemed Italian independent bottler, Velier. The rum's ester content ranges between 500-700 g/hl, contributing to its unique aroma and flavor profile. Characterized by its overproof strength, this exceptional rum exhibits notes of overripe tropical fruits, citrus, vanilla, and hints of spices, herbs, coffee, chocolate, and sugarcane. On the palate, the rum offers extraordinary power and remarkable balance, with empyreumatic, camphorous, and spicy notes reminiscent of traditional Jamaican rums. The tasting experience reveals a personality that is both generous and overflowing with flavor. As the third release in the Hampden single cask series, which falls into the HLCF category, this rum stands as a testament to Hampden Estate's unwavering commitment to producing some of the world's finest rums.
