Velier Hampden Rare Cask Series HLCF 2010 12yr 62,8%
The "Rare Cask Series HLCF" is a distinguished limited-release rum from the Hampden distillery in Jamaica. Bottled by Velier, its 12-year journey from pot-stilled molasses to a cask-strength spirit at 62.8% ABV results in a rich and complex profile. Enthusiasts highlight its overripe tropical fruit aromas with notes of phenol and solvents, complemented by an oily and spicy palate. While its robust character appeals to seasoned connoisseurs, beginners might find its intensity challenging. This rum delivers a unique balance of low esters and fruity floral notes, with undertones of olive and licorice. Despite its exceptional craftsmanship, its price remains a talking point for rum enthusiasts.

“This one is even more floral than the previous one and also fruity and pretty well balanced. Intense and oily on the palate and the empty glass is really nice after an hour and I can find licorice in it.”

“Un Hampden Single Cask avec le mark HLCF, dont la puissance aromatique se fait ressentir au nez. On y retrouve un concentré de notes phénoliques, de saumure et de fruits exotiques. Une pointe d’olive fait également irruption. Le côté funky est toujours présent en bouche avec quelques notes épicées et boisées très légères. La finale est de longueur moyenne, asséchée par les tannins et le cuir. L’ensemble est rond, sympathique et maîtrisé. Un bon profil d’Hampden, mais loin d’être exceptionnel, en particulier si l’on tient compte du prix.”

“This is a very powerful HLCF... definitely not for beginners... fruit, olive, phenol on the nose... the palate is oily and heavy. Intense aromas of wood, spices and brine spread out. The alcohol is already quite present. The finish continues in the same way... something fruity appears very late. Slightly sweet, like dried mango. A fine but tiring rum”
