Cuvée presentation

A single cask Hampden (#8) distilled in 1992 and bottled in 2019. Rightly considered one of the most important bottlers of his era, Silvano Samaroli was above all a spirits lover and pioneer. He began his career in the late 1960s, initially as an importer in Italy, where he distributed the Linkwood single malt and numerous blends. His bottling activities only began in the following decade with a cask strength bottling of Bruichladdich 10 Year Old 1965. At a time when single malts where far less popular than blends, Samaroli embarked on a meticulous selection and bottling project in close contact with distilleries and, more importantly, Scottish independent bottlers. A champion of single casks bottled at cask strength, he was also fascinated by ageing in bottle. A visionary in many respects, many of his bottlings, such as Bowmore Bouquet 1996 and the 1948 West Indies Rum, are today some of the most legendary spirits ever bottled. More than just a player in the bottling industry, Silvano Samaroli was one of its founding icons. A limited edition of 270 bottles.

The distillery Hampden

Rum, Jamaica. Distillery operational. Owner: Everglades Farms Ltd.

Independent & family-ownedKnown primarily in the rum, perfume and food industries, Hampden began to move out of the shadows in 2009 when the Jamaican government decided to disinvest from the national Jamaica Sugar Company and auctioned off its assets. The family-owned company Everglades Farms Ltd (owned by the Hussey family) secured the lot and became the owner of this gem which is now considered the alter ego of the Scottish distillery Ardbeg. This link with Scotland is no coincidence. Hampden Estate was bought in 1748 by Robert Stirling, who had left Perthshire (Scotland) in 1742. The Hussey family sells two expressions of its rum, including an Overproof which is particularly well-known in the bar and HORECA segment. But it was in 2017, when family-owned Italian (Velier) and French (LMDW) companies began distributing the first old rums, that Hampden really took off, rising to the ranks of the finest rums currently on the market.
