Hampden 7 Year Old Magnum Series #3

Hampden 7 Year Old Magnum Series #3 is a Jamaican dark rum from the legendary Hampden Estate distillery, created in collaboration with the Italian company Velier as part of the exclusive artistic Magnum Series, which combines the world of rum and photography.

The rum was distilled in 2018, aged for seven years in the tropical climate of Jamaica, and bottled at a strength of 60% alcohol.

It is made from molasses in traditional copper pot stills, with fermentation occurring naturally – without industrial yeasts, only using wild microorganisms and dunder (residuals from previous fermentation).

This process gives the rum an authentic, “funky” Jamaican character full of energy and depth. Thanks to tropical aging, the rum acquires a complex structure and intense aroma.

It has an amber color with golden reflections. The aroma reveals rich tropical fruits – pineapple, banana, pear, and apple – complemented by notes of honey, vanilla, herbs, and resin. Subtle nuances of coffee and cocoa gradually develop.

The taste is full and oily, combining sweet notes of caramelized fruits, honey, and vanilla with spicy elements like ginger and clove, while a gentle smoky and mineral accent appears in the background. The finish is long, warming, and harmonious, with echoes of dried fruits, oak, vanilla, and the typical ester signature of the Hampden distillery.

This is a full-bodied rum with medium to higher sweetness, distinctly fruity, with spicy and slightly smoky tones. It shines best neat, in a tulip tasting glass at room temperature. It is an impressive and elegant rum that perfectly balances strength, character, and typical Jamaican “wildness.”
