Finish: Long, warm and persistent with tropical sweetness and a distinct Jamaican character that lingers long after the last sip.

Magnum Series – rum and art in symbiosis

The Magnum Series is created as a bridge between the sensory world of rum and the narrative power of photography. Each release unites an iconic rum with a photographer from Magnum Photos, resulting in bottles that are both collectibles and tasting experiences. Cristina de Middel’s contribution to the series combines artistic vision with Hampden’s raw authenticity – a meeting of two worlds, both celebrating the real and unadulterated.

The history of the house

Hampden Estate has been producing rum in Trelawny, Jamaica since 1753 and is one of the oldest active rum distilleries in the world. The distillery is famous for its long-fermented, molasses-based rums, distilled exclusively in traditional pot stills and created using methods passed down through generations.

When the Hussey family took ownership in 2009, tropical aging was introduced directly at the distillery – a decision that has taken Hampden rum to new heights of intensity and depth. Hampden HGML 7 Year 2018 is a clear testament to this philosophy: a rum with history, craftsmanship and pure Caribbean energy.
