Mezan Jamaica Hampden 2000 Vintage Rum 40%

Wine information: This rum is part of the Mezan range of single cask bottlings. These are all single cask (apart from the Jamaica XO, which is an aged blend) and single vintage bottlings. The idea behind the range is to bring to the consumer the story of the diversity of rum amongst the Caribbean Islands – styles and methods of production, and therefore the rums vary widely. The Mezan rums are also as natural as possible – after the casks have been selected they are not chill-filtered, nor is there any colour, sugar or other flavourings added. Hampden is the high ester distillery located in the North West of the island. Originally owned by a Scotsman - Mr Archibald Sterling circa 1750 - hence its name. Hampden specialises in heavy pot still, very high ester rums and use no commercial yeasts whatsoever in pursuit of this goal. 100% cultures effect the fermentation and the result is very pungent idiosyncratice rum.

Extremely pungent nose with ripe, spicy banana bread notes. Incredible complexity again showing those spicy banana bread characteristics with very evident butyric notes. Very long, complex, developing finsh.
