Overview
Step back in time and sip your way through history at the legendary Hampden Estate — a Jamaican rum distillery that has been producing high-quality pot-still rum for over 260 years. Nestled in the lush hills of Trelawny, this 18th-century estate is one of the few remaining distilleries in the Caribbean that still uses traditional fermentation methods and copper pot stills.
On this immersive tour, you’ll walk through the working distillery, explore the picturesque grounds, learn about the rum-making process from cane to cask, and finish with a delicious tasting of their internationally acclaimed rums. A traditional Jamaican lunch is often included, depending on the time of day.
