Cuvée presentation

A single cask (#667) Hampden distilled in 2012 and bottled in 2020. Using the Trelawny Endemic Birds as a vessel, the Hampden distillery pays homage to the rich fauna of the Cockpit Valley, famed for the sixty-seven different species of bird living in its heart. Selected to be one of the bottlings at the Whisky Live Paris at the end of September, this OWH mark - with an ester content of between 40 and 80 grams per hectolitre of pure alcohol - proudly represents the lightest style of rum produced by this iconic distillery. It is also rather warm and generous, showing Hampden in an intensely medicinal, deeply mineral and wonderfully syrupy (cane sugar) light. A limited edition of 250 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.
