A twenty nine year old Hampden single cask from The Colours of Rum, the classic Trelawny funk grown polished with age, pineapple, mango and banana over herbs, olive and a whisper of salinity at a still vivid 58.1%.
Description
Hampden is the reference point for high ester Jamaican funk, and this 1992 single cask from The Colours of Rum shows what nearly three decades does to it. Bottled at a natural 58.1% with no additives, it keeps the wild Trelawny character while gaining the depth and polish that only long maturation brings, the kind of bottle Hampden devotees seek out.
Distilled on double retort pot stills from molasses and matured in ex-bourbon oak, it leads with bright tropical fruit, pineapple, mango and ripe banana, then opens into herbs, olives and a light saline edge that keeps it savoury. The finish is long, with roasted oak framing the fruit rather than burying it. Twenty nine years has softened the edges without dulling the funk, making this a fruit forward yet layered expression of old Hampden.
