The Hampden Estate Pure Single Jamaican Overproof Rum is a high-proof marvel standing at an impressive 60% ABV. Crafted with dedication and expertise, this rum from the renowned Hampden Estate in Jamaica boasts an intense and compelling flavor profile that sets it apart from other high-quality rums. Made from sugarcane grown on the estate's own plantations, this Single Estate Rum is a true reflection of Jamaica's rich rum-making heritage.
The fermentation process at Hampden Estate utilizes natural yeast and extends longer than average, allowing for a fuller flavor development. Distilled in traditional copper pot stills from molasses, this dark rum matures for a minimum of 7 years in oak barrels under the tropical Jamaican climate. The result is a robust and complex spirit, bottled without any added sugars or coloring, maintaining its authenticity and purity.
Jamaican rum is celebrated worldwide for its unique style, and Hampden Estate's collaboration with the legendary Italian bottler Velier has produced some of the most sought-after rums. This overproof variant is no exception, offering a potent and concentrated flavor experience reminiscent of cask-strength rums. The rum is rich with esters, highlighting both spicy and fruity undertones that create a well-balanced and full-bodied profile.
On the nose, this rum reveals a symphony of aromas ranging from esters, floral notes, and tropical fruits to more complex scents of cold pipe tobacco, vanilla, and tart caramel. The palate experiences a powerful yet harmonious blend of flavors such as orange peel, banana peel, papaya, and subtle hints of licorice and green tea. The finish is long and elegant, with lingering notes of tropical fruit, peppery spice, and roasted wood.
The rich amber color of this rum is a visual testament to its depth and maturity. It opens up beautifully with a little air, offering a sticky jam-like consistency and vegetal spices like curry, all encased within a caramelized wood groove. This rum is a true testament to the craftsmanship of Hampden Estate and Velier, capturing the essence of Jamaican rum in every bottle.
