Caribbean

This Caribbean rum was developed and bottled as a tribute to the world-famous metal band Iron Maiden. The group has been one of the defining forces of the international metal genre for over four decades and has achieved worldwide fame with more than 100 million albums sold, concerts in over 60 countries and an extensive discography with 17 studio albums. The best-known titles include Number of the Beast, Run to the Hills, Fear of the Dark and Aces High. This rum makes thematic reference to the poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, which inspired the band to write one of their cult songs back in 1984. The Iron Maiden Caribbean Dark Rum offers a sweet, chocolaty flavour profile with subtle notes of oak and figs. Its balanced complexity makes it a special treat for rum lovers and fans of the band alike. It is ideal for relaxed enjoyment with a personal favourite Iron Maiden song and at the same time impresses with its unique quality. The rum combines Caribbean craftsmanship with the band's characteristic style and offers a long-lasting flavour experience that combines both musical and spirits-related passion. A rum for your life.

This rum, distilled from the finest molasses from the family estate on Pot Still stills, matured for the first four years on the island in former bourbon barrels. It was then transferred to second-fill rum barrels and shipped to Scotland for a further seven years to allow the Jamaican rum to mature in peace. Instead of the intense flavours of overripe fruit found in well-known "high-ester" rums, this rum takes a more complex approach. The traditional double-retort method continues to contribute to its clear and precise, yet profound flavour, which presents itself with hints of banana bread with orange and spices.

The Hampden HLCF 2023/2025 comes from the legendary Hampden Estate in Trelawny, Jamaica, which has been distilling high-quality rums for almost 300 years. For connoisseurs, Trelawny is a mythical place, while for crocodiles it is a swampy paradise. Distilled from molasses, sugar cane juice, dunder and muck in traditional Pot Still stills, the Pure Single Rum matures in a sherry cask from Bodegas Fundador. Hampden Estate has been using these Andalusian casks to refine various brands and vintages since 2018. The result is the Hampden Light Continental Flavoured, HLCF for short, which stands for a balanced character with a high ester content of 400-600 g/hL of pure alcohol. After two years of maturation in the tropical climate of Trelawny, this single cask bottled exclusively for Kirsch Import expresses the full-bodied intensity of HLCF, complemented by Christmassy notes of preserved cherries, cocoa and roasted walnuts. The Hampden HLCF 2023/2025 is an intense rum with a strong character for connoisseurs and curious connoisseurs.

This Barbados rum is produced using column and pot stills in a family-run distillery in the south-east of the Caribbean island, which was previously a sugar factory. After 14 years of tropical maturation, the molasses rum then underwent final continental maturation and its flavour oscillates between herbal and sweet notes. This creation is a classic example of matured Barbados rum. It owes its high level of quality to the incredible attention to detail that goes into its production from start to finish. The careful blending of strong Pot Still rum and elegant Column Still rum before the long barrel ageing and the maturation itself gave the end result herbal and floral notes, gently balanced by butterscotch and maple syrup.
