Hampden Estate The Younger LROK 2018 5 Year Pure Single Jamaican Rum 3L

Hampden Estate The Younger LROK 2018 is the Trelawny distillery's five-year-old pure single Jamaican rum in a three-liter large-format bottle, the kind of statement piece that sits on a back bar or at the center of a collection. Hampden has been making high-ester rum the same way since 1753: molasses fermented for weeks with wild yeasts and no added cultures, spring water from the estate, and 100 percent artisanal distillation in copper double-retort pot stills. LROK is the classic historical Hampden mark, the mid-ester style that the house considers its signature, and this batch was distilled in 2018, aged five years in ex-bourbon casks at the distillery in the tropical heat of Jamaica, where the angels' share ran past 34 percent, and bottled in 2023 at 47% ABV, 94 proof, with no additives and no chill filtration. The box lists the numbers Hampden fans look for: 349.5 grams of esters and 1,702.8 grams of congeners per hectoliter of pure alcohol. RumX tasters, who rate it 8.4 out of 10, find ripe banana, pineapple, tropical fruit and fermented funk with a touch of solvent on the nose and palate, and a long finish that turns to olive, brine and a pleasant bitterness. It comes in Hampden's yellow presentation box, and the three-liter bottle holds the equivalent of four standard bottles, which makes it the party-sized version of one of the best-value aged Jamaican rums on the market.
