In Trelawny, Jamaica, Hampden was founded in 1743 by Archibald Stirling and has changed less than any distillery on the island. Molasses ferments for up to two weeks in open cedar vats with wild yeasts, dunder and muck from its pits, then runs through pot stills only, giving some of the most ester-laden rum in the world: funky, fruity, wild. Hussey family's.
