Hampden Rum

Based in Trelawny Parish in the north west of Jamaica, Hampden Estate is one the oldest sugar estates in Jamaica, and is the only distillery in Jamaica that specializes exclusively in the making of heavy pot still rums. Renowned for these intensely flavorful pot still rums, it continues to be the archetypal heavy pot rum of choice throughout Europe. As early as 1753 it operated as a sugar plantation, and maintained the same production methods and techniques for the last two centuries, such as the use of its own spring water, prolonged fermentation time with wild yeasts, tropical ageing, no added colourants and sugar, and distillation exclusively in pot stills. For many years, indie bottlers were your only way to get your hands on aged rum from the Handen Estate which wasn't blended with other rums. However, at long last, in 2018 Hampden Estate got to release rum under its own name! Master Distiller Vivian Wisdom created the very first aged distillery releases from Hampden Estate in 265 years, which celebrate the uniqueness of Jamaican rum production and Hampden itself.
