Tasting Notes and Technical Description:

Visual Appearance:
Pouring a deep, rich mahogany into the glass, this rum emanates a glowing aura that is both inviting and intense, much like its multi-dimensional flavor profile.

Nose (Aroma):
The nose opens with an immediate burst of tropical richness. Notes of overripe bananas, pineapples, and guava intermingle with a complex blend of baking spices, specifically nutmeg and cinnamon. The ester-heavy profile is anchored by undertones of oak, leather, and an earthy, almost medicinal, herbaceous quality.

Palate (Taste):
The arrival on the palate is almost symphonic in its complexity. The fruit-forward initiation is supported by secondary tones of molasses and brown sugar, giving way to deeper impressions of tobacco leaf, oaky tannins, and cloves. This spectrum of flavors is punctuated by Hampden's distinctive 'funk' — a unique and unquantifiable profile that authenticates its Jamaican roots.

Finish:
Long and exceedingly complex, the finish unfurls a canvas of lingering flavors. From the residual sweetness of dried fruits to the warm embrace of aged wood and a peppery spiciness, each sip concludes with a flourish that leaves the taster desirous for the next.

Mouthfeel:
Despite its high ABV, the rum's mouthfeel is incredibly velvety, offering a robust but not overwhelming warmth that complements its rich, full-bodied profile.

Hampden Estate 2010 LROK is an extraordinary selection for aficionados who appreciate the idiosyncrasies of traditional Jamaican rum.

Availability:
This is a limited-edition release, an intrinsic part of its allure. Connoisseurs and collectors are advised to acquire a bottle while availability persists.

Its sophisticated range of flavors and the depth of its profile make it a must-experience spirit for anyone keen on diving into the world of fine rums. Third Base Market & Spirits is delighted to offer this exceptional product to those who will appreciate its authentic, unfiltered character and sophisticated palate.
