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, powerful new make that comes out of the still at 82%.

  

This 2022 version of Great House is a blend of different marks and is produced according to a recipe that differs from year to year, offering a different take on this rum. Particularly expressive, it sets the tone, from the very first moments, for a tasting that explores a wide range of fruity flavours, even in the empty glass. Medicinal notes orient its aromatic and gustatory palette towards an undeniably empyreumatic profile.
