Rumfest 2026: Hampden Estate — the Heart of Jamaica and Legend of Funky High-Ester Rums

Hampden Estate is for many rum enthusiasts a synonym for authentic Jamaican rum — wild, aromatic, and unmistakable. This seminar will present the unique production processes that set Hampden apart from the rest of the rum world: long fermentations, the use of dunder, and high ester content that give these rums their iconic character.

The seminar includes a tasting of several distinctive samples and an in-depth look at why Hampden has become one of the most sought-after names among rum enthusiasts, collectors, and bar professionals.

Free entry with Rumfest ticket.
