Hampden, a stalwart in the Jamaican rum industry, is celebrated for its high-ester rums and traditional production methods that bestow profound character and complexity to their spirits.
Founded in the mid-18th century, Hampden's adherence to traditional distillation techniques and lengthy fermentation processes contributes to their unmatched flavor profiles.

Rum Club takes pride in offering limited editions that appeal to collectors and connoisseurs alike. The careful selection process ensures that each bottle embodies the essence of the distillery’s craftsmanship and heritage.
The 1990 vintage signifies a rum that has been aged for over three decades, allowing for a development of depth and nuance that sets it apart from younger expressions.
The aging process has taken place under continental climate conditions, which means the rum has matured in a cooler environment compared to tropical aging. This results in a more gradual aging process, preserving the volatile esters and integral flavors over time.
The rum is based on molasses, a by-product of sugar production, which is a traditional and time-honored raw material in rum production, renowned for its ability to develop rich and robust flavor profiles during fermentation and distillation.
The distillation itself employs the pot still method, a classic approach that Hampden is famous for, resulting in a spirit that is both powerful and aromatic.
With an impressive bottle strength of 60.4%, this rum delivers a potent and full-bodied experience, perfect for sipping and savoring.
The limited release of only 328 bottles this edition highly sought after by collectors, symbolizing both rarity and exclusivity.
Each 50 cl bottle is a testament to the meticulous craft and dedication of Hampden and Rum Club, capturing the essence of Jamaican rum heritage in every drop.
