The Hampden Estate Great House Rum (2024 Release) is a vibrant and ever-evolving masterpiece, embodying the rich, bold, and aromatic complexity of Jamaican rum. This exclusive blend is part of a celebrated series, with each release paying tribute to the iconic Great House, which dates back to 1779. The 2024 edition is a perfect reflection of Hampden’s legacy, capturing the essence of Jamaica's grand cru rum, full of history, heritage, and bold flavours.
The 2024 Great House Rum is a meticulously crafted blend of several marks from three different vintages. This expression captures the distillery's signature style, with mint, ripe mango, and dry earth providing the opening aromas. As it evolves, quince jelly, bramble jam, and orange marmalade introduce a rich complexity. The palate is a tropical symphony, with coconut, mango, and passion fruit dancing alongside chocolate drops, slate fragments, and refreshing mint tea. The finish is powerful and invigorating, with herbaceous and peppery tones, leading into a lingering burst of red fruits, marshmallow, cranberry, and raisin.
Pairing Suggestions:Enjoy with rich barbecued meats, Jamaican jerk chicken, or a dark chocolate dessert. Also pairs well with a Havana cigar for a truly indulgent experience.
