Alambic Classique 1998 Hampden XO Wooden Box 20yo 45% 700ml information

The Alambic Classique Rum Hampden XO is a 20-year-old rum from Jamaica that has garnered attention for its extended aging process in American oak casks. Distilled in 1998 and bottled in 2018 as a limited edition and single cask rum, it is a product of the renowned Hampden Distillery, located on the Hampden Estate with its historic sugar factory and expansive sugarcane plantations.

This rum boasts a rich and complex aroma, with notes of sweetness and spice. The combination of sugar, honey, and molasses is complemented by warm, inviting baking spices and black tea, with a hint of citrus fruits and zest adding depth and complexity.

The palate is equally impressive, with a balance of sweetness and acidity. Vanilla and honey are perfectly balanced by zesty, fruity notes of pineapple, orange, mandarin, and lemon. The finish is long-lasting and harmonious, with rich tropical fruit and a hint of honey.

The independent bottler Alambic Classique, while having a French-sounding name, is based in Germany and offers a wide range of imported and bottled spirits. With a diverse portfolio that includes gin, whisky, cognac, and fruit brandies, the Alambic Classique Rum Hampden XO 20 Jahre Jamaika is a standout, with its high age and exceptional quality.
