Hampden Overproof Rum. Calling all rum fans! Calling all liquor fans (of all types)! You need this bottle in your life. Regardless of whether you’re a rum enthusiast or just someone who’s been wanting to explore the world of what rum has to offer, this is for you!

In the world of rum, Hampden Estate rum distillery is worshiped and even the mention of it gets us rum nerds super excited. It’s a distillery in Jamaica famous for making the MOST intensely funky, intensely flavorful, crazy delicious rums. Full of tropical flavors of banana, pineapple, dill pickle, and other intense wonders, all developed naturally (no “flavor additives”) from the miraculous work of yeast and organic compounds. They produce rum like you’ve never tasted, no exaggeration. If you want to experience the crazy intense amazingness of what nature can produce – Hampden is your best friend. (For reference, other rums from Hampden include Rum Fire [unaged], Stolen Overproof, Smith and Cross [partial Hampden component], and other independent bottlings)

The history of Hampden Estate dates back to the 1700s (Caribbean colonization days when sugar production was the primary economy), but it wasn’t until 2009 that the historic sugar plantation came under governance of its current owners – the Hussey family – who have been working hard for the past decade to really bring the treasures of traditional Hampden distillation techniques and incredible rum to the global audience.

60% abv Hampden Overproof (and the regular 46% version) are the FIRST products directly released from the distillery, fully aged in the tropical Jamaican climate (which can “accelerate” the effects of the aging process by 2-3x compared to independent bottlings from colder European climates). It’s truly a gift to the spirit world. It’s not a limited edition and will be continually rolling out each year, so definitely keep an eye out for this wonder!
