Hampden Estate Single Cask #288 Spindalis (60,7%)

Hampden Estate Rum – Single Cask #288 “Spindalis” is a rare and distinguished release from Jamaica’s legendary Hampden Estate, known worldwide for its bold, ester-rich pot still rums and centuries of rum-making tradition.

Distilled in 2011 and bottled in 2020, this limited-edition rum matured for 9 years in the tropical climate of Jamaica, which accelerates the aging process and adds remarkable depth. Produced using the LFCH marque, this rum offers a medium ester profile — perfectly balanced between fruit-forward funk and structured complexity.

Bottled at a robust 60.7% ABV, with no chill filtration, no added sugar, and no colorings, Single Cask #288 is a pure and uncompromising expression of Hampden’s distinctive style. Only 250 bottles were released globally, making it a prized collector’s item.

The label features the Spindalis, a colorful bird native to Jamaica, as part of the Trelawny Endemic Birds Series — a tribute to the island’s rich biodiversity and terroir.

Expect a vibrant nose with notes of pineapple, citrus peel, overripe mango, and subtle acetone, followed by a palate of spice, vanilla, charred oak, and tropical fruit esters. The finish is long, warming, and layered, evolving as it lingers.

Elegant, intense, and distinctly Jamaican, Spindalis #288 is a rum for true enthusiasts — a liquid celebration of Hampden’s heritage and the natural beauty of Trelawny.
