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

Banana, pineapple, floral esters—vivid, lightly funky profile.

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.

     Meine 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.

     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 .

     Solider Hampden, aber nichts dolles. Habe wenig von der sonst so brachialen Power im Glas. In der Zweitverkostung ungewohnt kräutrige Noten für einen Hampden. Erinnert mich an günstige Guyana Rums (die Ich nicht mag), daher Abwertung um weitere 4 Punkte.
