While rum is believed to have originated in Barbados, Jamaica is home to some quality rum distilleries. For clients seeking a day trip off the resort, consider the Hampden Estate Rum Tour, which takes visitors through the all-natural rum-making process and, naturally, culminates with a tasting experience.
Located in Trelawny Parish, Hampden Estate specializes exclusively in the making of Heavy Pot Still rums and creates two products, Hampden Gold at 40% and Rum Fire at 63%. Fun fact: according to tour guide Lasanya, Chanel cologne and some flavours of Häagen-Dazs are made using its rum.
