Hampden 1753 is the new Pure Single Rum launched by the Jamaican distillery: a perfect introduction to Hampden's unparalleled aromatic universe with a complex yet accessible profile thanks to its 46° ABV.
Production is in small batches, while maturation in a tropical climate takes three years in ex-bourbon barrels. The result is an authentic expression of Hampden's unique style, offering a perfect introduction to the Jamaican distillery's aromatic universe and fully showcasing its nuances of flavour.
Named after the year in which the distillery was founded, this new release joins the main range of official Hampden bottlings, along with the 8-year-old and the HCLF Classic Overproof.
Hampden 1753 is naturally produced from the pillars that have made the distillery legendary:
- the use of the purest water, coming from a spring just a few kilometres from the Estate, in the heart of Cockpit Country, used to dilute the molasses arriving from the Long Pond sugar refinery
- the spontaneous fermentation, triggered by natural indigenous yeasts that work for very long periods, generating those esters responsible for the characteristic final aromatic charge;
- the distillation, which lasts approximately 7 hours, in the 6 discontinuous double retort copper pot stills from all corners of the world, one of which dates back to 1960;
-tropical ageing and finally the total absence of added sugar or colouring agents. This production method has been handed down century after century and is one of the most authentic in the world of rum.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
