- The road to the estate was in poor condition so allow extra travel time. The tour was fascinating and you see pride in the faces of staff. We learned a lot and enjoyed the experience.

Great find! - Steven and Sugar were the best hosts. They both made us laugh with some jokes. The kitchen staff made excellent jerk chicken and pork! The rum was awesome and Sugar showed how to enhance it by adding different mixers! So delicious! It shows how everyone that works there enjoys their jobs... everyone is smiling and laughing.

If you love rum, you HAVE to do this tour - This rum distillery has existed since 1753. Hampden is the source, not the imitation. I can’t even put it into words. Visiting this place was akin to a Catholic getting to walk freely through the Vatican archives. Steve, Peppie and Jennifer were phenomenal hosts. Steve was an incredibly knowledgeable guide - not just about the rum but also the entire history of the island. And Jennifer’s cooking was fantastic. Note: don’t use the bottled sauce on the table - ask for extra house-made sauce. And if you really want to roll local, order the jerk pork, not the chicken!

Great Experience! - Amazing to see the the plantation/estate. We booked through Royal Caribbean Cruise we were on. The roads are pothole riddled in some segments, but our driver and guide were very experienced , and got us there and back without incident ( through a hard rainstorm for the last leg). Had our taste of many different rum (quality & potency). Had a create Jamaican lunch and our guide Steven was well versed in the history, and importance to the worldwide rum industry overall....Its worth the trip!

Jamaica - home of rum! - One of the best “tasting” tours I’ve done. From production through to the tasting everything was excellent. Our guide Steve was excellent and he and all the team that were there for the group made everyone feel welcome. The history lesson on Rum and Jamaica so much so that I’m giving up gin for rum now! :-)
