Boasting a big bold ABV of 63%, this characterful overproof rum from Jamaica's Hampden Estate is the perfect thing to add some oomph to your cocktails and mixed drinks. After a long fermentation with wild yeasts, the molasses-based rum is produced in copper pot stills, resulting in a hugely complex, aromatic character. The aim was to create a clear rum that remained true to Hampden Estate's renowned funky, high-ester style, and we can see this working well in an array of classic serves, or neat with a squeeze of fresh lime.
Tasting Note: Big, bold, and vibrant with ripe bananas, candied pineapple, and tropical fruits. Peppery heat and dried chilli are backed by fresh sugar cane and rubbery, smoky notes of hot tar.
