Very fresh and funky even slightly grassy, fruit and HD genes all there. Personally, almost too young at least pure ... Am curious what he delivers in May Tai.

Ich hatte mir mehr erwartet. Ein junger Hampden, bei dem die tropische Reifung nicht durchkommt, der Alkohol zwar gut eingebunden ist, aber insgesamt leider eher wässrig wirkt.

The fruits struggle to make a place for themselves in this rather chemical Hampden. It remains not bad for such a young rum and one recognizes the distillery.

I expect more from a Velier. Bit bitter and young in my eyes. I really like HLCF, but this release is now no revelation.
