Hampden Great House 2019, 2020 & 2021 Box Set / Distillery Shop

The Hampden Estate was founded in 1753 by a Scotsman called Archibald Sterling, in the Queen of Spain valley of Jamaica’s Trelawny parish. For 250 years it remained family owned, selling rum to third-party blenders and independent bottlers. Mismanagement however meant that by 2003 it was in financial trouble, with the Jamaican government stepping in to assume ownership and some of its debt in order to preserve the jobs of its employees. They sold it in 2009 to the Hussey family’s Everglades Farms, who as first point of business began laying down the casks that would eventually become the first Hampden Estate labelled official bottling of the distillery’s rum, launched in collaboration with Velier in 2018. Famed for its heavy, ester-driven style, Hampden is joined by Worthy Park as the only two Jamaican distilleries that produce exclusively pure single rums (using only pot stills). It currently has four pot stills: two from Forsyths in Scotland, one from Vendome in Kentucky, and another from T&T Engineering in South Africa.

Bearing the name of the family residence built in 1753, Great House wonderfully embodies Hampden’s exuberant and eminently Jamaican style. This was bottled by Velier for sale at the distillery and special events around the world.

This lot is an exclusive Jamaica market release consisting of a trio of the Hampden Great House editions from 2019, 2020 and 2021. Presented in a bespoke wooden display case and including a hand-written note from Marketing Director Christelle Harris, this set is one of only 36 released by the distillery.

This lot includes:

  • Hampden Great House Distillery Edition 2019, 59%, 75cl
  • Hampden Great House Distillery Edition 2020, 59%, 75cl
  • Hampden Great House Distillery Edition 2021, 55%, 75cl
