Habitation Velier Hampden C<>H

A wild basket of overripe fruits, esters and glue, underpinned by that big Hampden strength. One to try if you appreciate powerhouse tropical spirits with complexity.

A funky, fruity beast. Balanced, complex, and classic Hampden.

    How does this rum taste?

    • Nicely integrated alcohol and only the slightest hint of astringency
    • Absolut brachialer High-Ester Hampden
    • The nose is wonderfully fruity (overripe) with the normal funk

    Classic Hampden funk leads here: esters, overripe tropical fruits—especially pineapple and banana—are all upfront, supported by waves of solvent and glue notes. Members repeatedly highlight the balance despite intensity; as DomM puts it, "Funky with lots of tropical fruits including characteristic grilled pineapple." Banana and glue are constant companions, with a long, evolving finish that leans into bitter chocolate and soft tannin. Many agree with Galli33 that "The alcohol is perfectly integrated," making this a reference point for tropically aged, high ester rums.

    "WoW what an amazing rum 😍 The best of Hampden i ever had in the glass, so far. Nose: Wonderfull synergy of funk, ester, trop. fruits and glue. Mouth: The alcohol is perfectly integrated🫠Very delicious, balanced, complex rum, some nice lovely notes of overripe fruits and pineapple. Finish: Is quite long and fruity with some notes of the barrel with a lightly astringency. 🤤🤤"

    "This Hampden C<>H is a force of nature, a raw, yet incredibly complex aromatic concentrate. The nose is powerful and lively, intensely fruity and phenolic, with some very pleasant pastry touches that round out the edges. On the palate, we find a thick, fat and oily rum, very concentrated on notes of tropical fruits, citrus fruits, some fermented notes but also a floral and spicy touch, then some leather. The 68.5% are relatively discreet. The whole is impressively round. The finish continues the pleasure of Jamaican funk with also a touch of olive, tannins but also chocolate and a salty touch. A Jamaican rum in its pure state, extremely tasty and balanced. Great art."

    "What a board. The level is simply unbelievably high. Certainly one of the highlights of what I have opened this year in bottles. For most, this is only a speculative object anyway, but the opening is so worth it. Absolutely brute good stuff."
