Velier Hampden Peated Whisky Cask C<>H 2023
Fans praise the intense ester fruit and smoky peat hybrid, while critics find the peat harsh and masking Hampden’s character. Consensus: a polarizing experiment best suited to peated-whisky lovers.
Seasoned enthusiasts who enjoy cask-strength spirits, love peated Scotch and want to explore how big Jamaican esters and overripe banana work with smoke and a salty, whisky-like edge.

How does this rum taste?
Wild peated Hampden experiment
If you’re into peated Islay whisky and already comfortable with high-ester Hampden, this is a fascinating clash of smoke and funk—great as a one-off experience rather than a comfort sipper.
Beginners, anyone sensitive to high ABV, and Hampden purists who dislike peat or don’t want the classic fruity funk pushed into the background by smoky whisky notes.

Ve vůni se mísí jamajská mísa tropického ovoce s peated whisky. Čím déle se nechá odležet, tím vice cítím jamajské tóny. Chuťově to není vůbec zlé. Příjemně nasládlé a ovocné, finiš se spíš projeví v závěru, který není zas tak intenzivní jak bych čekal. Na roční zrání a vysoké ABV docela v pohodě.

Auto-translatedSoo many esthers with smoke
#4861 Whisky Live in Paris 27.09.2024-30.09.2024. Another great event meeting a lot of RumX new and old friends. This year three weren't as many new releases as in 2023, but I still had a great time. Nose Intense, faint wood, ester, fruity, overripe, banana, spice, peat, light smoke, light glue. Palate Intense, ester, light wood, warm, fruity, overripe, banana, faint pineapple, faint nutts, peat, light smoke, dry. Finish Very long and warm, light wood, ester, faint roasted, light smoke, peat, pineapple, medium dry. This is a bomb if you like whisky in my mind, the peated/smoke notes are definitely there and I like smoke. Price to quality can be argued 😊
