Habitation Velier Hampden Hampden OWH 2016
Highly praised as a fruity, approachable low‑ester Hampden with great nose, solid balance and good alcohol integration, even if some find it a bit acidic or less complex than other Habitation releases.
Curious explorers of Jamaican funk who want a more relaxed, fruity Hampden at full proof, with banana, pineapple and light esters rather than a heavy solvent bomb.

#4813 16.08.2024 Having a relaxing afternoon and evening with Joël from Switzerland. Nose Fresh, fruity, pineapple, light floral, faint honey, light wood. Palate Warm, fresh, light wood, fruity, overripe, light pineapple, lightly sweet, light ester, faint chocolate. Finish Long and warm, light wood, faint roasted, fruity, light banana, faint chocolate. The empty glass has a nice herbal touch as well as light mint.
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..
For me, the nose is a bit more Clarendon than Hampden. Relaxed sipper, but sportily priced. Not the glorious end to a fantastic series.
Auto-translatedVery good and actually almost exactly what I expected and hoped for. Medicinal with vanilla, a little marzipan, lots of semi-ripe banana and a few tropical fruits with varnish and phenol. Very great low ester Jamaican that scores with its tropical maturation
