Hampden 13 Years 2010 Alex Webb Edition Magnum Series #2 Rum

This exceptional Hampden 13 Year Old rum is best savored neat or with a single large ice cube to fully appreciate its complex flavors, though it can also elevate classic rum cocktails; its rich profile makes it ideal for sipping on cool autumn evenings, paired with dark chocolate or well-aged cheeses.

Nose: Rich aromas of ripe tropical fruits like pineapple and banana, complemented by hints of beeswax and camphor. Floral notes of geranium and iris emerge, alongside subtle hints of candied pear and Mirabelle plum. A touch of petrol adds complexity.

Palate: Full-bodied and intense. Dark chocolate and rosewood dominate initially, followed by a wave of smoky meat flavors. The signature Hampden funk comes through with overripe fruit notes. Pineapple and banana flavors persist, balanced by a slight petrol edge.

Finish: Long and powerful. Brown sugar and fresh sugarcane sweetness lingers, accompanied by nutty undertones. Candied fruits like kiwi, quince, and apricot make an appearance. The finish maintains the rum's robust character with a subtle smoky quality throughout.
