Habitation Velier Hampden Small Batch (PM Spirits Prestige-Ledroit Exclusive 3 Mark Blend)

Good things come to those who wait. In this case, that good thing is a rum first conceived of nearly three years ago among friends around a table in the hot, humid climate of Jamaica's Trelawny Parish. In the summer of 2022, we took a trip down there with our colleagues at Prestige-Ledroit to visit one of the most incredible distilleries on earth, the legendary Hampden Estate.

Hampden has been producing rum for over 250 years and the facility is truly a marvel to behold. Walking the grounds and production areas helps one to understand how Hampden produces some of the most distinctive, high-quality, and sought-after rum in the world.

To commemorate this trip, we created a blend of three of Hampden's iconic rum marks – LFCH, LROK, and <>H – aged for several years in the tropical climate of northwest Jamaica. The blend is composed of ten barrels that were distilled on Hampden's famed double retort pot stills, selected by us and blended to our specifications, and bottled at cask strength with no adulteration.
