The Hampden Estate Pagos 2023 is a unique rum from Jamaica that combines the traditions of the Caribbean and Spain in an exceptional way. This limited edition rum is the first time in the history of the Hampden Estate Distillery that a rum has been exclusively aged in ex-sherry casks. The use of these 500-liter sherry butts from Bodegas Fundador in Jerez is a novelty in the rum world and represents an avant-garde approach to aging. This pure single cask rum, bottled exclusively for La Maison du Whisky (LMDW), boasts an alcohol content of 52% ABV and an impressive high ester content of almost 470 g/hlpa. Upon distillation from molasses in a pot still, the rum was aged for three years in casks previously used to age Oloroso sherry. This process has imparted the rum with a deep, dark amber color and a complex aroma profile that combines the fruity intensity and high ester profile of Hampden Estate rum with the woody, aromatic notes and deep, rich color of ex-sherry casks. The sherry cask aging trend, borrowed from Scotch whisky production, has proven to be successful in the rum industry as well. With only 1,200 bottles available, Hampden Estate Pagos 2023 Pure Single Jamaican Rum is a powerful and complex spirit. It is marked by its fruity character and the signature "funk" of Jamaican rum. Bottled at a high strength similar to cask strength, its robust profile and intricate flavors are beautifully showcased, making it ideal for sipping neat or as the base in cocktails. The rum's deep color, aroma, and palate are imbued with unique woody notes of Oloroso, enhancing the overall sensory experience and offering a luxurious taste of Jamaica's rich rum history.
This rum is unique because it is the first time that Hampden Estate has aged its rum entirely in 500-liter sherry butts from Bodegas Fundador in Jerez, imparting a distinctive flavor profile.
This rum is ideal for sipping neat due to its complex and powerful flavor profile, but it also works wonderfully as the base for luxurious cocktails.
The rum has a high ester content of almost 470 g/hlpa, contributing to its fruity intensity and complexity.
The Hampden Estate Pagos 2023 is a remarkable piece of rum craftsmanship. Its exclusive aging in ex-sherry casks sets it apart from other Jamaican rums, offering a unique blend of rich, fruity, and woody notes. The high ester content and robust profile make it a powerful and expressive spirit. Whether enjoyed neat or in a cocktail, this limited edition rum provides an exceptional tasting experience that highlights the innovative spirit of Hampden Estate.
