- Description
- Hampden's 2016 high-ester expression, bottled at 62% ABV by Habitation Velier, showcases the Jamaican distillery's funky, pot-still character at its most concentrated. High-ester rums are defined by their bold fruity esters and agricultural intensity, creating a profile that demands attention rather than accompaniment. The texture is full and assertive, with the proof providing proper context for the spirit's fermentation-driven complexity. Reserved for experienced rum drinkers who embrace funk and intensity.
