Habitation Velier Hampden Hampden OWH 2016 7yr 60%

RX17319 Very good Pot Still Rum <100€
“Fruity, balanced, yet slightly acidic Hampden rum.”

Hampden OWH by Habitation Velier is a Jamaican rum distilled in 2016 and aged for 7 years, known for its low ester profile. With a robust ABV of 60%, this rum impressed users with its tropical fruit and ester aromas, featuring hints of banana, marzipan, and pineapple. On the palate, the rum is noted for its pineapple taste, light medicinal notes, and tropical undertones. While some found it a complex and approachable spirit with a commendable balance, others mentioned its high acidity and lack of memorable traits compared to other Hampden offerings. Best suited for those appreciating nuanced fruitiness and lower ester marks.

“For me, the nose is a bit more Clarendon than Hampden. Relaxed sipper, but sportily priced. Not the glorious end to a fantastic series.”

“mmh… i‘m a bit disapponited… This one takes the last place of the Hampden Velier series, for sure. Not for the low ester content, it just not knock my socks off. Also the price per value rating is horrible..”
