Hampden - Pagos Old Single Jamaican Rum L1/24 Edition (750ml)
Hampden Pagos Batch 3 Pure Single Jamaican Rum is a remarkable and intensely flavorful expression from one of the world's most revered distilleries. Hailing from the legendary Hampden Estate in Jamaica's Trelawny Parish—a producer with nearly three centuries of history—this rum is a testament to the bold, traditional, and unapologetically aromatic style for which they are celebrated.
The "Pagos" concept is a unique exploration of full tropical aging in prestigious ex-Sherry casks. This third batch begins with Hampden's emblematic HLCF (Hampden Light Continental Flavoured) mark, a high-ester rum distilled from a blend of molasses and dunder in traditional double retort pot stills. This powerful spirit was then entirely matured in the warm Jamaican climate within a selection of 16 casks sourced from the famous Bodegas Fundador. These casks previously held Oloroso sherry for up to thirty years, imparting profound complexity to the final spirit.
Bottled at a potent 52% ABV to enhance the perfect synergy between the high-ester rum and the sherry-seasoned wood, this rum is exceptionally complex. The nose is rich with notes of clove, toasted walnut, blood orange, and brandied cherry, evolving to reveal almond and coffee liqueur. The palate is bold and lively, offering cane sugar, chestnut honey, and tropical flowers, which transition to vanilla and cocoa beans with subtle tannins. It culminates in an incredibly long and full finish, refreshed by coconut milk and honeysuckle, with lingering notes of light tobacco and peppery rose.
