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.
Nose... Fruity, acidity ... Ester (no Ester monster as often in DOK but something tamer ) the Tropical storage takes him something the bite makes him but for me more interesting and also rounder ... On the palate initially a great fruity sweetness, alcohol very well integrated ... Ester rather restrained but still clear. For me very exciting and tasty !!!
Habitation Velier and Hampden are usually convincing. Also in this case. A very tasty DOK with the typical funky high ester aromas of a Hampden. Very fresh, funky, fermented tropical fruit... this rum lacks a little complexity. If you want a DOK, you'll get a DOK here.
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.
