“Despite the relative young age this is a spot on fresh and intense release, wow. When looking at the price tag at release you get a lot of vang for your buck. An intense and fruity rum with a fresh and floral profile. ABV really well integrated and overall just and enjoyable rum.”

“Very nice addition to the Habitation Velier series. With a little time to breathe, you get a really good Hampden here with, as expected, powerful fruit esters, some barrel influence, spices and pleasant sweetness. Very good.”

“A very good surprise that this young Hampden is full-bodied and exuberant. The power of the DOK mark is noticeable with a very fruity, phenolic and floral nose, with fermented, medicinal notes and a hint of camphor. This heavy, intense profile comes through on the palate, with some spicy notes adding depth to the rum. It's bold, oily and very indulgent. The same flavors return on a long and lingering finish. A very nice bottling that shows a lot of complexity and has a lot going for it for its young age.”
