Hampden Great House, a blend renewed every year since 2019, is the seventh opus in this exclusive series.
This bottling is a tribute to the distillery’s Great House, still standing in its original form. Built in 1779 by the Stirling family, the first floor was used for rum storage (barrels waiting to be transferred to port) until the 20th century.
Today, it has become the house of representation and reception for guests and visitors.
Made from a blend of several marks of different vintages, this 2025 edition perfectly embodies the distinctive style of this iconic Jamaican rum.
Nose: Dense and rich. The profile opens with notes of fermented pineapple, vanilla, and candied ginger. Hints of varnish add complexity and a bold character to this expressive aromatic palette
Palate: Intense and generous. Ripe banana takes the lead, supported by pronounced empyreumatic notes, liquorice, and a touch of dried chili. The structure is powerful yet well-defined.
Finish: Elegant and complex. The tasting experience lingers with fine wood tones, soft spices (nutmeg, cinnamon), and a refreshing hint of camphor. A persistent, well-balanced finish with depth and nuance.
