Why it’s different

This rum was distilled in 2021 and is an expression of the DOK mark. Like the two previous releases, the third edition of the Magnum Series aims to present a range of different rum expressions that, while sharing the same basic raw material, offer totally distinct flavour profiles.

While the first series featured the photographs of Elliott Erwitt and the second paid tribute to Alex Webb, for this edition Cristina de Middel, Spanish photographer and outgoing president of Magnum, was invited. De Middel spent a week in artistic residence in Hampden at the invitation of La Maison & Velier. Four shots taken during her stay were chosen to decorate the labels of the third series.

The label of the Magnum Hampden DOK 4-year-old in particular is accompanied by an image that Cristina de Middel titled 'Risto'. This term is Jamaican slang derived from the word 'aristocrat', and is used to define a haughty or conceited person who considers himself superior to others.

Focus

This 4-year-old Hampden bottle is part of the third edition of the Magnum Series, a project launched in 2021 at the initiative of Luca Gargano. The aim of the series is to create a bridge between the excellence of the great masters of rum and the work of the photographers of the Magnum agency, founded in 1947 by legendary figures such as Robert Capa and Henri Cartier-Bresson.

For this third edition, the collection disembarks in the Jamaican region of Trelawny, right in the heart of the Hampden distillery, famous since 1753 for its complex and highly aromatic rums, obtained thanks to ancestral fermentation and distillation methods. A crucial moment in the distillery's history was the handover of ownership to the Hussey family in 2009. Under their management, Hampden inaugurated the practice, hitherto unheard of for them, of ageing rum on site in Jamaica's hot and humid climate.
