The Transcontinental Rum Line is a series from La Maison Du Whisky. Comprised of rums from different distilleries, that have been partially matured in their tropical homes before being shipped across the Atlantic Ocean for further maturation in Europe. While this may sound convoluted, it's actually very cost effective as it prevents the greedy tropical angels from getting quite such a monstrous share of the precious spirit.
Line #1
Located in Trelawny in north west Jamaica in an area known for its elite rum production, the Hampden Estate is one of the oldest Caribbean distilleries having been in operation since 1753 and continuing the same traditional production methods throughout its life.

From the Hampden Estate in Jamaica, this rum has been aged in American Oak on both sides of the pond.
