Boasting a big bold ABV of 63%, this characterful overproof rum from Jamaica's Hampden Estate is the perfect thing to add some oomph to your cocktails and mixed drinks. After a long fermentation with wild yeasts, the molasses-based rum is produced in copper pot stills, resulting in a hugely complex, aromatic character. The aim was to create a clear rum that remained true to Hampden Estate's renowned funky, high-ester style, and we can see this working well in an array of classic serves, or neat with a squeeze of fresh lime.
Big, bold, and vibrant with ripe bananas, candied pineapple, and tropical fruits. Peppery heat and dried chilli are backed by fresh sugar cane and rubbery, smoky notes of hot tar.
