Hampden Estate The Maverick Single Jamaican Rum

Single Jamaican Rum | 59% ABV (118 Proof) | Tropical Aged | 700 mL

Process & Profile

Hampden Estate The Maverick is a limited-edition Jamaican rum crafted by Christelle Harris—part of the founding family—and her husband Matthew Hann, in celebration of their son’s birth in May 2024. This bottling showcases a bold blend of three distinct Hampden marques: 50% HGML 2018 (among the distillery’s most intense), 40% LFCH 2020 (a lighter ester profile), and 10% C<>H 2021 (one of its most iconic). Distilled in double retort pot stills and tropically aged in ex-bourbon barrels, it’s bottled at a commanding 59% ABV without compromise.
