Hampden Pagos Batch 3, two places in one cask.

Published 3 November 2026 · WHV

Hampden Pagos brings two established production traditions into the same bottle. The rum comes from Jamaica, while the barrels for Batch 3 came from Bodegas Fundador in Jerez. Hampden describes sixteen casks previously used for Oloroso.

The distinction is worth keeping clear because earlier Pagos releases used different barrels. The first edition drew on ex-Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez casks from Lustau. Here the batch number marks a change in the maturation programme, which makes a comparison more informative than simply buying a second bottle with the same name.

Pour a small measure alongside another Hampden, or compare two Pagos batches if you can find them. Pay attention to what remains recognisable across the samples and where the cask changes the impression. Buy by the batch on the label when the difference matters to you.
