Pure Pot Stilled Rum
Also known as SINGLE RUMS, these sugarcane spirits are batched distilled in a pot still at a one single distillery. They can be aged or unaged depending on the rules or regulations of the country where the rum is made.
Trelawny, where the Hampden Estate is situated makes the heaviest and funkiest rum on the island of Jamaica. This Rum is the perfect all-rounder, a fantastic full-bodied sipping rum that also lends itself to bringing depth and complexity to mixed drinks. Aged for a minimum of 7 years in the tropics after a long, natural fermentation, this blend of 100% traditional Pot Still marks is characterised by a high ester (Jamaican Funk) profile and tropical notes.
Serving Suggestions: Another great rum to drink neat or with a cube of ice. Or try and pineapple Rum old fashion. Made like the original cocktail but substituting the sugar for a pineapple infused syrup. Try using a chocolate bitters too, to lengthen the drink.

Banana and toasted spice notes build, with prominent clove notes. The palate is big, with spices, creamy bananas with a dusting of ground clove and cinnamon. There are also ripe pineapples roll in. Dark and weight oily notes sneak in behind.
On the finish your left with Cinnamon spice and sweet banana fade to reveal a touch of smoked oak.
