Hampden Estate Overproof

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.
