This pure rum Hampden 8 Year Old from Hampden Estate was created in collaboration with the famous Italian distillery Velier. The rum is sourced from Jamaica and is made according to a recipe dating back to the 18th century. It is the flagship of the range, perfectly embodying the aromatic complexity and versatility for which the brand is renowned.
Hampden is known for producing incredibly high-ester rums that are created using wild fermentation and packed with tropical fruit flavours. No sugar is added to the rum. It is distilled exclusively in pot stills using locally sourced spring water and tropical aged in 190 litre ex-bourbon casks for 8 years. The combination of these factors will transport you to true rum heaven.
The bottles have been bottled at 46 % alcohol and come in a gift box. The visuals of the box, as well as the bottle label, detail and describe the pillars and legacy of the brand.

The Hampden HLCF Classic is a great introduction to the world of high ester rums. This pure single Jamaican rum matured for 4 years in a tropical climate, which is the equivalent of 12 years of aging in Europe at Angel's Tax. Wild fermentation with natural yeasts, pot still distillation and aging in wood guarantee a high level of esters, namely from 400 to 600 gr/HLPA. So lovers of high-ester rums are guaranteed to get their money's worth.
HLCF stands for Hampden Light Continental Flavored. In addition to esters, this rum is characterized by its strength, which is evidenced by its 60 % alcohol content. Nevertheless, it remains refined and delicate, with a tasty, woody and spicy aroma.
