Hampden DOK 4 years Jamaica Rum 2021

– Magnum Series #3 – Cristina de Middel Edition – 60%

Discover one of the most unique and rare bottlings from Jamaica – Hampden DOK 4 year, the third release in the famous Magnum Series. A powerful and complex rum that unites the art of distilling from Hampden Estate with the artistic expression of Spanish Magnum photographer Cristina de Middel.

This limited edition bottle is not just a rum – it’s a work of art in liquid form. Its name, DOK, stands for Dermot Owen Kelly-Lawson, and marks the most estery and explosive style from Hampden, loved by connoisseurs worldwide.

Cristina de Middel spent a week at the distillery in Trelawny, where her camera captured the Jamaican soul, the colors, scents and rhythm of the place where the magic happens. Her artwork “Risto” adorns the label – an image that symbolizes character, attitude and confidence – just like the rum in the bottle.

Tasting notes

Aroma: Explosive and intensely fruity – green bananas, overripe pineapple, pickled citrus and hints of olive, acetone and vanilla. A wild and authentic nose that only true DOK can deliver.

Flavor: Rich and oily texture with notes of tropical fruits, molasses, green mango, coffee, spicy oak and light smoke. The high ester profile gives an almost electric freshness and complexity.

Finish: Long, warm and spicy – with notes of licorice, cocoa and an exotic touch of fermented fruit and sugar caramel.

A masterpiece from Hampden Estate

Hampden Estate has been producing rum since 1753 in Trelawny, Jamaica – an area known as the heart of the Jamaican rum world. The distillery is famous for its pot still-distilled rums with extremely high ester levels, created through natural fermentation and ancestral techniques that have not changed for centuries.

In 2009, the Hussey family took over the distillery and introduced aging directly in Jamaica for the first time – a revolution that has made Hampden an icon among rum lovers.

Hampden is known for its uncompromising style – a rum that doesn’t seek to please everyone, but strikes a chord with those who seek true character, authenticity and craftsmanship.

Conclusion

Hampden DOK 4 Year Magnum Series #3 is a rare opportunity to experience the ultimate in Jamaican rum – a fusion of art, tradition and terroir.
Perfect for collectors, enthusiasts and anyone who dares to challenge their sense of taste.
