JAMAICA 1998 Hampden The Colours of Rum W. S.

An unnamed pot-distilled rum from a traditional distillery in Jamaica. Jamaican distilleries are famous for using dunder or muck to create high concentrations of acids for use in fermentation. The end result is a menu of rums with different levels of that characteristic Jamaican "funk" and complexity.
This 23yo Jamaican rum was bottled from a single cask which yielded 247 bottles. It spent 23 years in the Old Continent. Distilled in 1998 in a pot still, and matured in an ex-rum oak barrel, before being bottled at 58,7% ABV.
This rum is made from HLCF mark, and HLCF means Hampden Light Continental Flavored, with a high concentration of esters, i.e. from 400 to 600 gr / hlpa.
Comprising only exceptional rums, ‘The Colours of Rum’ collection illustrates the remarkable selection work carried out since 2007 by the Polish trading house Wealth Solutions, which also markets rare wines, cognacs and whiskies.
