    How does this rum taste?

    • Bold tropical flavor
    • Distinctive esters
    • Limited edition rarity

    The "Single Cask Salon du Rhum HLCF" by Habitation Velier is a distinct Jamaican rum from the renowned Hampden distillery, distilled in 2018 and aged for 3 years. Bottled at a potent 64.6% ABV, this limited release of just 262 bottles showcases bold aromas of pineapple, banana, and esters, with a complex taste profile of banana, glue, citrus, and vanilla. While the youthful character is valued, some find the alcohol integration less than perfect. It excites with its tropical notes yet suggests room for longer maturation, making it a coveted choice for collectors and enthusiasts.

    "Sehr frisch und funky sogar leicht grasig ,Fruchtigkeit und Hampden Gene alles schön vorhanden. Alles aber etwas unausgereift . Mir persönlich fast noch zu jung zumindest Pur ... Bin gespannt was er im Mai Tai liefert."

    "Kein Anfänger Hampden. Hat Ecken und Kanten und ist dementsprechend charakterstark. Alkohol leider nicht ganz top integriert, sonst würde er mir noch besser gefallen."

    "Tasting-Abend bei Dr. Django (Jamaica): Der Hampden Mark HLCF zeigt eine schöne Reife mit sehr ausgeprägten, aber ausgewogenen Aromen mit Ester, Holz und Gewürz. Am Gaumen verteilt er sich sehr cremig und angenehm. Der Alkohol ist gut eingebunden. Klasse Abfüllung"
