Hampden Estate Pagos Batch 3
Unique, rich and compelling: the 100% Sherry aged Hampden.
Taking its name from the Spanish word used to describe plots of vineyards in the Jerez area, Hampden Estate Pagos is the distillery’s reference to be exclusively aged in Sherry casks. Like the world’s most aromatic whiskies, such as those produced on Islay, the Jamaican rum embraces perfectly with the Andalusian wine’s notes of rancio without being overpowered by them, leading to a completely new profile of aromas.
It is the perfect bottle to appeal to rum enthusiasts and fans of Sherry cask single malts alike.
Avantgarde in Ageing
A classic ageing process, used now at Hampden Estate
Ageing in ex-Sherry casks has been common practice in the world of whisky for decades. Even if some of the most sought-after, complex single malts have benefitted from this type of ageing vessel for many years, this process is not often seen in the world of rum: Pagos is a world premiere, the first ever experiment to age Hampden Estate rum in ex-Sherry casks.
The highest quality sherry casks, thanks to a precious partnership
Hampden Pagos is the fruit of partnerships created with two famous Bodegas in Jerez: Lustau and Fundador. Several casks have been transferred from the Andalusian cellars to those of Hampden Estate, to age the distillery’s rums. The first edition of Pagos was a blend of rums aged in ex-Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez casks from Lustau.
Pagos third batch is the result of a blend of 16 casks from Bodegas Fundador that have previously contained Oloroso for up to thirty years.
A great synergy between sherry and rum, the best of both worlds
The fruity intensity and the high ester profile of Hampden Estate matches perfectly the woody aromatic palette and deep, rich color brought by the ex-Sherry casks. This third edition is made with Hampden’s emblematic HLCF mark (Hampden Light Continental Flavoured), with an ester content of 374.1 gr/HLPA.
To enhance the perfect synergy between the Sherry and the high ester content of Hampden Estate, Pagos has been bottled at 52%.
