This edition refers to the legend of John Crow . This story begins with a robbery on the grounds of the Hampden estate. At the time, Jamaican brandy was stolen here by members of a criminal gang from Trelawny, which was among the more nefarious neighbors of the Hampden Estate distillery. It is from this stolen “firewater” that the Jamaican overproof has its origins. It is used not only for drinking but also for baptisms, to ward off evil spirits, as medicine, at weddings... This John Crow is a DOK (Dermot Owen Kelly) rum from the Hampden distillery. It contains 1,600 gr/hlpa of esters.
