Hampden LROK 2016/2025 - 9 y.o. - Magnum Series #3 - 1.5 liters

Special features: This limited rum from the renowned Hampden Distillery in Jamaica was distilled in 2016 and aged for nine years in a tropical climate before being bottled in 2025. The bottling in the Magnum format of 1.5 liters emphasizes the exclusivity of this drop. The LROK (Light Rum Owen Kelly) rum is characterized by an ester content of 200 to 400 grams per hectoliter of pure alcohol, which represents the characteristic "funky" note of the distillery.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Rich and velvety with floral notes of mignonette and hyacinth, accompanied by musky and medicinal aromas like balsam. With aeration, scents of cane sugar honey and raw sugar unfold, gradually developing into rubbery and spicy nuances of white pepper and ginger.
• Palate: Lively and full-bodied, the medicinal notes from the nose return, accompanied by intense flavors of mustard seeds and cloves. As it progresses, honey-sweet and subtly tarry notes of pipe tobacco emerge.
• Finish: Comprehensive and balanced, refreshed by excellent citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit as well as juicy fruits like ripe banana and Braeburn apple. A fibrous and licorice-like aftertaste immerses the connoisseur in the vibrant atmosphere of a fermenting room.

Distillery/Bottler: The Hampden Distillery, founded in 1753, is one of the oldest and most respected rum distilleries in Jamaica. It is known for its high-ester pot still rums, which are produced through natural fermentation and traditional distillation techniques. In collaboration with the Italian company Velier and photographer Cristina de Middel, this special bottling was created as part of the Magnum Series #3.
