Hampden Estate – Aged 15 Years 70 cl. 50%

Pure Single Jamaican Rum

Hampden Estate Aged 15 Years is an iconic Jamaican rum for anyone who wants maximum aroma, deep fruit, and a unmistakable “Hampden signature”—where long ageing meets the distillery’s legendary intensity. This isn’t a gentle, polite sipper; it’s a rum with personality, power, and layers upon layers—while 15 years of maturation brings a rounder, more integrated, almost velvety feel.

Style & character

Hampden Estate is famous for classic Jamaican identity: high aromatic intensity (esters) that can evoke tropical fruit, overripe fruit, spiced molasses, citrus oils, and a subtle “funky” depth. With serious ageing, that expressive style becomes even more compelling: the wild fruit is wrapped in a more polished frame of oak, vanilla, caramelised tones, and gentle toast—without losing its energy.

Nose

Dense, vibrant and complex, often with a clear Jamaican lift:

tropical fruit (pineapple, banana, mango), sometimes with a hint of overripe fruit
citrus peel and oily orange zest
molasses, brown sugar, caramel
vanilla, toasted oak, spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, clove)
deeper notes of cocoa, coffee, tobacco and a subtle nuttiness

Palate

Full-bodied and warming, with real structure:

opens with dark fruit and molasses—rich, yet often more “dry” than sugary overall
mid-palate adds layers of toffee/caramel, vanilla and toasted oak
Hampden’s intensity drives the profile: tropical fruit, citrus oil and spicy funk
the finish often carries an elegant bitterness from oak, cocoa and citrus peel, keeping everything in balance

Finish

Long and lingering: tropical fruit gradually shifts into spiced oak, cocoa, coffee, and a warm, drier close that stays with you.

Best way to enjoy it

Sip neat in a tulip-shaped glass to capture the full aromatic range.
Try a few drops of water—it can open up citrus, tropical fruit and more floral ester notes.
Brilliant as a slow after-dinner pour, best in small, focused servings.
