Founded in 1753, Hampden Estate has been distilling rum for over three centuries in the Trelawny Parish, historically the grand cru of Jamaican rum.
Hampden Estate is known for producing a wide variety of distillates. Depending on several parameters, such as the duration of the fermentation or the addition of dunder (the remains of a previous distillation), a rum is given a certain mark. The mark LROK stands for Light Rum Owen Kelly, and is one of the marks produced at Hampden Estate and refers to a rum with a high concentration of esters, from 200 to 400 g/hLPA.
Hampden Estate 2010 LROK has matured for no less than 11 years in the tropical climate of Jamaica, which is comparable to about 44 years of ripening in European climate.
