The Transcontinental Rum Line – 9YO Hampden Park Single Cask 2012 is a bold and expressive Jamaican rum from the iconic Hampden Estate Distillery, handpicked and bottled by Transcontinental Rum Line. Drawn from a single cask distilled in 2012 and released after nine years of tropical aging, this expression showcases the intense flavour profile typical of Hampden’s pot still rums at a robust 58.4% ABV.

Hampden’s production philosophy emphasises long, natural fermentation and traditional pot still distillation, resulting in elevated ester levels and pronounced character. This particular cask delivers a vivid, multi-layered experience that highlights the distillery’s distinctive style.

On the nose, the rum greets you with rich tropical fruit, banana, pineapple and honey, supported by deeper notes of spice, oak and a hint of sea salt. The palate is full and intricate, with waves of banana foster, creamy vanilla toffee and cracked black pepper, layered with nuances of baked plum and dark chocolate. The finish is long and intense, with lingering warmth and a spicy echo that reinforces the hallmark Hampden ester profile.

This single cask release illustrates the power and purity that comes from a carefully aged Jamaican rum taken from an individual barrel — ideal for collectors and rum enthusiasts seeking a concentrated expression of distillery character.
