Hampden RUM Fire White Overproof Rum from Jamaica 70 cl

Description

Rum Fire, the explosive expression of Jamaican rum

Produced by Hampden Estate, a historic distillery in Jamaica, Rum Fire is an overproof white rum that fully expresses the aromatic character of Jamaican rums. Founded in 1753, the distillery is renowned for its traditional methods and its particularly expressive rums. Rum Fire is an unaged rum, distilled in a pot still and bottled at 63% ABV.

Its character is defined in particular by a strong presence of esters – aromatic compounds resulting from fermentation – which contribute to the intense and recognisable profile of Jamaican rums. The nose is explosive, with aromas of ripe banana, pineapple and other tropical fruits. When allowed to breathe, spicy, vegetal and slightly smoky notes may round out the bouquet. On the palate, the high alcohol content accompanies a generous fruity expression, characterised by very ripe fruit and spices. The finish lingers with characteristic intensity.

This white rum is aimed at connoisseurs of spirits with character and mixology enthusiasts. Its aromatic concentration makes it a particularly interesting base for cocktails where the rum needs to retain a distinct presence. In particular, it adds a Jamaican touch to daiquiris, Mai Tais and Tiki cocktails. Hampden also recommends it for creating original recipes and adding depth to classic cocktails.

Available in a 70 cl bottle, Rum Fire is an essential choice for discovering the Jamaican Overproof style: a powerful white rum, rich in aromas and recognisable by its ‘funky’ character. Due to its high alcohol content, it is advisable to measure it out precisely when mixing drinks.
