The wine

To close this first Magnum series released in 2021, La Maison du Whisky and Velier have created four unique Magnum gift sets containing the four first bottlings from the range, Hampden 5 Year Old, Foursquare 16 Year Old, Saint James 15 Year Old and Mount Gay 14 Year Old

HAMPDEN 5 YEARS
Hampden Estate is the one distillery in Jamaica still producing with old techniques, with various raw materials, wild fermentations and distilling with iconic double retort pot stills. Hampden is also known for producing a large variety of distillates (marks): with an ester content of 500 to 700 gr/HLPA, this mark is identified as HLCF, has an intense character and it´s one of the most historical and representative rum of the ancient Jamaican style.

MOUNT GAY 14 YEARS
Mount Gay 14 years old is a very old, intense and unique expression of the iconic brand, identity of Barbados: it has been distilled in a double retort pot still only and never blended with column distillate as official Mount Gay branded rums do. It truly represents the beating heart of Mount Gay distillery. Distilled in 2007, it spent 14 years in white American oak barrels in the tropical weather of Barbados, thus extremely concentrate but with a magnificent elegance. Bottled at 60% ABV.
The picture on this label has been taken in California at Pacific Palisades, in 1999.

SAINT JAMES 15 YEARS
This Saint James 15 years old is the first independent bottling of the distillery.
Distilled in Creole column still as an AOC Agricole, blend of two vintage 2004 and 2006, it conveys a very old expression, with great character, and still vibrant and remarkably well-balanced.

FOURSQUARE 16 YEAR
Foursquare distillery in Barbados became recently a myth, for its old and limited bottlings. This 16 years old is surely one of the oldest ever released. It is a blend of rums distilled in pot and column stills, aged 16 years both in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. A great expression of the well-known balance of Foursquare rums and a combination of strength and softness.
The picture on this label has been taken in Hiroshima at Peace Memorial Park in 1970.
