Hampden Estate DOK 5yr 2017

 

Custom design and illustrations for PM Spirits and la Maison & Velier celebrating PM Spirits 10 Year Anniversary.

 
 

This is a single cask of rum from the Hampden Distillery located in Jamaica. This DOK marque rum (1500-1600 g/hl aa ester count) was distilled from molasses on a pot still. It was then aged in an ex-bourbon cask for 5 years in Jamaica before being bottled at cask strength with no additives and sold in the New York market to celebrate PM Spirits 10 year anniversary.

The initial release sold out at wholesale within a week. It was critically received and landed on a number of lists for the most sought-after and essential bourbon releases of the last twenty years.

Subsequent releases have met with equal excitement and the future of the line continues to look promising.
