Hampden, renowned among the Jamaican rums to produce spirits with an intense flavor, which are the quintessence of rum in Europe and in other parts of the world.
Founded in 1753 in Trelawny, Hampden Estate is one of the oldest sugar cane processing companies in Jamaica and its products are characterized by total respect for the island's tradition.

This guarantees the development of intense and unique aromas.
