Tasting Notes

How It's Made

Fun Facts

Product Details

Nose: Ripe tropical fruits dominate, with pineapple and banana at the forefront. Subtle smoky notes reminiscent of charred oak barrels mingle with delicate floral scents. A hint of fresh-cut grass and herbs adds complexity.

Palate: Bold and intense flavors coat the tongue. Juicy pineapple and overripe banana lead, followed by a warming spice reminiscent of nutmeg and cinnamon. Nutty undertones of toasted almonds emerge, balanced by a fresh vegetal quality akin to green bell peppers.

Finish: Long-lasting and evolving. Initial floral notes reminiscent of jasmine give way to herbaceous flavors like freshly picked basil. Citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit add brightness, while lingering sweet spices provide warmth. The high ester content leaves a pleasant, funky aftertaste characteristic of Jamaican rum.

Hampden Estate 1753 is crafted using traditional Jamaican rum-making techniques, including long fermentation with wild yeasts and distillation in copper pot stills, resulting in a high-ester rum that captures the distillery's signature funky profile and tropical fruit notes.

Hampden Estate 1753 is made using wild yeasts native to the Jamaican rainforest, which contribute to its unique flavor profile. These yeasts have been cultivated at the distillery for centuries, passed down through generations of rum makers.

The "1753" in the name isn't just a random number - it's the year when the Hampden Estate was first established, making it one of the oldest continuously operating rum distilleries in the world. Each bottle carries nearly 270 years of rum-making heritage.

Hampden Estate 1753 is produced using a technique called "dunder pits" - large underground holes filled with fermenting molasses waste. This traditional Jamaican method, rarely used today, helps create the rum's intense, funky flavor that's prized by rum enthusiasts.
