List of products by manufacturer Hampden Estate

After 265 years of production dedicated to confidential bottlings, the Hampden distillery is launching its own aged rums in 2018.

It is, among others, the famous Luca Gargano who, over the last few years, has brought to light the productions of this Jamaican distillery, through his brand: Habitation Velier.

Hampden's Jamaican rums are distinguished by an ancestral manufacturing process and a complete maturation in the tropics.

The Hampden distillery is equipped with four double-twisted pot stills: the first (John Dore), with a capacity of 7,560 litres, was installed in 1960; the second (Vendôme), with a capacity of 18,900 litres, in 1994; the third (Forsyth), with a capacity of 18,900 litres, in 2010 and the last (TNT), also with a capacity of 18,900 litres, in 2016.
The slow distillations, which last around seven hours, produce a rich and powerful new make that comes out of the still at 82%.

Throughout the production of its rum, Hampden uses spring water from the Cockpit Valley. It is rich in microbiological flora and plays a major role in the fermentation process. Hampden does not add any yeast during the fermentation process, which takes place naturally over seven days in open wooden vats.

Since its creation, Hampden has chosen to use pot still distillation. Its rum is therefore part of the very closed circle of Pure Single Rums. The four pot stills allow them to produce both Heavy Rum, very rich in esters, and Light Rum.
