MAGNUM series #1 - Elliott Erwitt
Edition limitée

Jamaique

The Hampden distillery is specialised in rums with the highest concentrations.

The 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.
Slow distillations lasting around seven hours produce a rich and powerful new make that comes out of the still at 82%.

         

This rare vintage, Classic edition MAGNUM, is illustrated with a photograph by Elliott Erwitt.
Born in Paris in 1928 to Russian parents, Elliott Erwitt was president of the Magnum agency in the late 1960s and remains one of the world's leading photographers to this day. He is notably famous for the satirical humour in his work and for a humanist sensibility that is so dear to the spirit of Magnum.

                                     

 Tasting notes:     

With an ester content of between 500 and 700 grams per hectolitre of pure alcohol, this version falls into the Hampden Light Continental Flavoured (HLCF) category of rums made by the Hampden distillery.

           

Absolutely magnificent, this rum first reveals an empyreumatic nose marked by notes of naphtha. Then, in the second part of the nose and on the palate, its fruity character is fully expressed before returning to a very mineral register in the finish.
