Hampden Estate

You really have to make an effort to get there. I drove myself but unless you have a screw loose like me you should hire a driver. The staff was great! Super friendly and knowledgeable. The tour was really informative and we were able to see the equipment up close and feel the heat. Would recommend the tour 100% Unfortunately there is a however. The price. The cost of the tour was reasonable but the product they offer at the end of the tour was not. The 8yr old rum had good character but left me feeling it needed to be aged significantly longer. In 10 years it would be a stellar rum but it is not there yet. Especially at $65/US ($100/CAN) for 750ml. You can buy better rums that are 4yrs older for half the price. I would recommend the tour but be prepared for a limited selection of wares to purchase at the end

We really enjoyed the Hampden Estate Rum tour. The drive out there, not so much! While visiting Jamaica we booked an excursion to the rum distillery. The bus that took us there was nice but the roads were horrible. The distillery itself was steeped in history and very enjoyable. We enjoyed a lunch of jerk chicken and slammed back quite a few rum shots during the tour. The rum fire was so good we bought a bottle to bring home!!

Great experience learning from a working high end rum producer using the same method since inception. Not a touristy place so if you are expecting a high end wine tasting/bar experience, this isn’t for you. Our hosts, Steve and Shelly were awesome. Good jerk chicken as well! Also offer tastings of their rum as well.

Amazing tour all around and great people. The place was rich with history and to see the production of one of the world’s best rum was fantastic.

We scheduled the tour and transportation with Hampden directly. We had a great tour. Sugar was educational and funny! Thanks for a great time!

Absolutely amazing experience. The property was beautiful and well taken care of. Good to see historical places being preserved and cared for.Steve was our tour guide and he was excellent, very knowledgeable and an absolute asset to that company. I learned so much that even as a Jamaican I didn't know. Very thorough tour.Every sense was awakened at that place, so many different scents throughout the tour. The Food was good at the end and the rum was 👌🏽. I would definitely recommend and even revisit.The one thing I will say is it wasn't the easiest to find so double check the route Google tells you by asking locals.
