Habitation Velier Hampden Celebrating LM&V 5th Anniversary (Magnum) HES 2019
Highly praised young low‑ester Hampden with a fantastic fruity, funky nose, fresh palate and good value. Lighter body and shorter finish but still a very enjoyable cask‑strength sipper.
Fans of Jamaican funk who enjoy brighter, fruity low‑ester Hampdens at cask strength and want a fresh, youthful profile with lots of tropical fruit and light medicinal notes.

How does this rum taste?
Fresh, fruity low‑ester Hampden hit
If you like LROK or other lighter Hampdens, this gives you similar fruity funk at full proof—great to see what the new HES mark can do, even if it’s still a bit youthful.
Beginners or those sensitive to high ABV, and drinkers expecting deep oak complexity, heavy esters or a thick, long-lasting finish from their Hampden bottlings.
Disappointing, there is clearly something missing from this rum

Guys, sorry, but this is a mega Hampden, I'm really lost for words. So medicinal, spicy and fruity on the nose, woody, vanilla and fruity on the palate. You can hardly taste the alcohol. I'm a fan of this rum. Thanks SaibotZtar for the sample.
Auto-translatedMeine geringen Erwartungen wurden komplett erfüllt: belangloser Low Ester Hampden, dem es an allem fehlt: kaum Komplexität, kaum Körper, kurzer Abgang. In der ersten Nase eine künstliche Zimtnote, die später verfliegt und dann der typischen Hampden-Nase Platz macht. Alkohol nicht gut eingebunden. Im Meer der Hampden Abfüllungen eine weitere Belanglosigkeit.
I am surprised! Nice tropical low Ester Hampden with good complexity, abundant fruit, light marzipan notes, rather on the astringent side.
