Produced by the mythical Hampden Estate distillery located in Trelawny, this rum is a special edition celebrating the famous DOK (Dermot Owen Kelly) mark, renowned for its exceptional ester content (up to 1600 g/hlap). Inspired by the legendary "John Crow Batty" , a bootleg rum once prized for its strength and boldness - this edition evokes the raw and daring spirit of its origins. With spectacular aromatic intensity and crafted using traditional methods, this unaged rum is a vibrant tribute to the roots of Jamaican overproof rums.
TASTING NOTES:
NOSE: A powerful and intriguing nose where very ripe tropical fruits such as bananas and candied pineapples mingle with complex aromas of acetone, raisins, and lime zest. A striking first impression that reveals an olfactory richness worthy of the great Jamaican rums.
PALATE: The entry on the palate is ample and oily, offering a remarkable balance between notes of green mango, olives, and leather, with more unusual accents of turpentine and sweet pears. The aromatic power is tamed by a surprising roundness, evoking a complex blend of exotic fruits and delicate spices.
FINISH: The finish is long and fascinating, with notes of dried papaya, dill, sawdust, and earthy nuances reminiscent of the dusty roads of Jamaican lands. A final breath evokes dunder and raw minerality, a unique signature of Hampden rums.
