酒款與酒標介紹
四位古典音樂家穿越時空來到台灣後，「斑馬線」走了超過九遍、在不同城市的「夜市」吃好吃滿、在宏偉的「國家音樂廳」合照留做紀念，來到了旅程的最後一趟。似乎四個人在這趟旅程還沒一起野餐過，出發總要有個方向，走～到那座熱情的城市：高雄「衛武營國家藝術文化中心」。
在豔陽高照的草皮上，如果這時候可以來一杯酸甜可口的果汁就太棒了。不如就來試試看這款牙買加蘭姆酒吧！
這間酒廠創立時間最早可可追朔到1753年，經歷了幾次易主後，於 2009年被 Hussey 家族收購。經歷多次轉手，依舊遵循「古法」做野生發酵，因而創造出獨一無二的酯類風味。從 1930年代開始，酯值濃度由低到高使用 8 種 marques 來做標示。
此外，這家酒廠採用銅製雙罐壺式蒸餾器來使其口感更具層次，他們所生產的高酯值濃度酒款還真能展現出又酸又甜的滋味。由於它從香氣到口感都非常獨特，要比喻的話，可以說是蘭姆酒界的泥煤威士忌或是台灣小吃中的臭豆腐，似乎有種魔幻力量會讓一些人初次嘗試後，徹底愛上那股強力膠、燒塑膠和熟香蕉的奇特滋味，這間酒廠就是 Hampden！看啊，又是莫扎特，他已經悄悄地喝了一杯躺在草地上回味著。趕快一起來品嚐這款百年傳統，全新感受的 JMC 吧。
