Hampden is an iconic distillery from Jamaica, located in the northwest Trelawny parish. Hampden Estate started as a sugar plantation in 1753 and for 250 years it remained owned by the same two families, producing only bulk rums, until it was sold to the Hussey family in 2009. Since then the group has put efforts into establishing the Hampden brand and selling directly under their name through bottling like Rum Fire and Hampden Gold, as well as a partnership with La Maison & Velier. Hampden is well known for its high-ester rums that have some of the funkiest taste you can find, highly praised for food-flavoring.
