Taking its name from the Spanish word used to describe plots of vineyards in the Jerez area, Hampden Estate Pagos is the first bottling in the distillery’s history to be exclusively aged in sherry casks.
Like the world’s most aromatic whiskies, such as those produced on Islay, the Jamaican rum embraces perfectly with the Andalusian wine’s notes of rancio without being overpowered by them, leading to a completely new profile of aromas.
It is the perfect bottle to appeal to rum enthusiasts and fans of sherry cask single malts alike.
More than just a bottler of rum, Luca Gargano is considered a visionary in the cane spirits industry, even developing his own classification for different styles of rum in 2015.
Many distilleries have since adopted this. Among the classifications is "pure single rum," which denotes a spirit produced on pot stills at a single distillery.
This Habitation Velier range is a celebration of these rums "which best expresses the raw material and the know-how of the distiller."
The nutty and savoury components given by oloroso, along with the sweet and spicy notes of Pexro Ximenez make Pagos a truly exceptional rum.
