Hampden Great House, a blend renewed every year since 2019, is the sixth
opus in this exclusive series. This bottling is a tribute to the distillery’s Great
House, still standing in its original form. Built in 1779 by the Stirling family,
the first floor was used for rum storage (barrels waiting to be transferred to
port) until the 20th century. Today, it has become the house of representation
and reception for guests and visitors.
Made from a blend of several marks of three different vintages, this 2024 edition
perfectly embodies the distinctive style of this iconic Jamaican rum.

HAMPDEN GREAT HOUSE 2024 TASTING NOTES

Nose: Full with a lot of tension. Mint, ripe mango and dry earth form a subtle and precise first
sequence of aromas. Quince jelly, bramble jam and orange marmalade then set a richer tone.
Palate: Clear and lively. The flavour palette is at first abundantly tropical (coconut, mango,
passion fruit) and matches the nose perfectly. Alternating between warm and refreshing
sequences, it offers a taste of chocolate drops, fragments of slate and mint tea.
Finish: Rich and invigorating. The intense finish lingers on herbaceous (Havana cigar) and
peppery tones. Diverse infusions of red fruits and marshmallow bring freshness. Increasingly
rich, the finish ends on cranberry and raisin.
