Habitation Velier Hampden Celebrating LM&V 5th Anniversary (Magnum) HES

The nose bursts with overripe banana, pineapple, and tropical fruit, while the palate delivers a mix of fruity esters and subtle herbal notes. While praised for its vibrant aromatics and approachable style, reviewers note a light body and some youthful sharpness—making this a community-backed crowd-pleaser that over-delivers for its price.

    How does this rum taste?

    • Intensely fruity nose
    • Good price-to-quality ratio
    • Easy-going for a cask strength

    Banana and bright tropical fruit leap from the glass, complemented by signature Hampden esters and subtle solvent notes. On the palate, it's a vibrant, fruit-driven experience with pineapple and lively acidity, though some find it youthful and a touch sharp. If you enjoy fresh, fruity Jamaican rums with a gentle funk, this is an intriguing limited edition to discover. Worth a sip for lovers of energetic, experiment-driven Hampden releases.

    "Doing a quick tasting, during cooking 😜 Lovely hampden with a very cool nose, but lacks in complexity/body and finish. In my opinion the ppv rating of this one is really bad… I‘m curious, if we‘ll see some older bottling in the future."

    "Did not have high expectations... but I am positively surprised. Nice young (though not wild) Hampden. Comes across very mild... Similarity to the LROK to recognize. Fruit basket and some glue everything very restrained but somehow coherent .finish it becomes slightly bitter ."

    "While I like the nose very much - more vibrant and fruity vs. HV LROK - the mouthfeel is just a bit too harsh for my liking in this one. Very curious to see older bottlings of the HES. With more age, I imagine this to be a very easy going sipper."

    "I am surprised! Nice tropical low Ester Hampden with good complexity, abundant fruit, light marzipan notes, rather on the astringent side."
