Hampden is renowned for its powerful, aromatic, and complex rums, crafted through a long fermentation process (up to 15 days) in open vats with natural yeasts. This unique artisanal process results in rums rich in esters, with a highly expressive signature, characterized by aromas of exotic fruits, spices, and floral notes.
