Papalin Jamaica brings together the boldest expressions of Jamaica’s legendary pot still heritage in a striking high-ester rum. Blended and bottled by rum visionary Luca Gargano of Velier, this vatting unites rums distilled at Hampden Estate and Worthy Park—two of Jamaica’s most iconic distilleries.

Crafted entirely from 100% pot still distillates, Papalin High Ester is a pure celebration of Jamaica’s funky, aromatic style. The nose bursts with overripe tropical fruit, fermented pineapple, and bright estery intensity, wrapped in hints of spice and molasses. On the palate, it’s unapologetically bold yet balanced—layered with notes of candied banana, guava, citrus peel, and warm baking spices, finishing long with that signature Jamaican “funk.”

Bottled at a robust natural strength, this release captures the island’s rum-making soul without compromise. Perfect for sipping neat, enjoyed with a splash of water to open up its complex aromas, or as a showstopping base in classic tiki and spirit-forward cocktails.
