Craftly mixed with
Hampden Estate is the iconic distillery located in Trelawny, north of Jamaica. This fertile area between the mountainous Cockpit Country and the Caribbean sea is the motherland of ‘old-style’ intense rums.
Dated back 1753, Hampden process of production is still very traditional, characterized by old techniques and equipment,
untouched from centuries by modern standards.
Various raw materials, the use of own spring waters, wild prolonged fermentations and a traditional ‘double-retort’ pot still distillation
make Hampden rums uniquely intense and aromatic,
with fruity and floral flavors due to high esters contents,
and often defined «funky».
With this unique savoire-faire, Hampden Estate is able to produce
eight different formulas – marks – from light bodied rums
to very heavy full-bodied ones:
the one chosen for 002 #thefunkydaiquiri is the fourth one, marked as «HLCF» and known with the brand RUMFIRE.
