Habitation Velier Privateer New England Single Rum 2017
Most enjoy its bourbon-like vanilla, caramel and coconut and impressive character for 3 years. Critics find it young, woody, a bit harsh or short. Consensus: solid, interesting but pricey.
Bourbon and Barbados-style rum fans who want a dry, cask-strength American rum with lots of vanilla, caramel and toasted oak and don’t mind some youthful bite.

How does this rum taste?
Bourbon‑leaning, young but characterful sipper
If you enjoy bourbonish Foursquare or other oak-forward rums, this is a fun American take: same vanilla-caramel comfort, but younger, drier and a bit wilder at cask strength.
Newcomers, those sensitive to higher ABV or oak-driven bitterness, and value hunters looking for long-aged complexity at this price point.

Not bad at all for such a young rum, it’s good, with intensity in the mouth and a start of complexity. Looking forward to tasting a more mature version…
Unfassbar langweiliger Rum. Mehr als etwas Süße und Karamell gibt die Spirituose nicht her. Blind kann man hier auch auf einen belanglosen Bourbon tippen. Alkohol ist gut eingebunden, anders gesagt der Rum ist total weichgespült.
Impressively broad flavor palette for its age. The aroma is unfortunately a bit fleeting, it is after all a young savage, just as quickly gone as it came, it disappears from the palate. But the toffee and vanilla notes are impressive for the short storage time.
Auto-translatedThen finally a privateer. This is more in the sweeter corner. Caramel and vanilla stand out on the nose and palate. The palate is quite alcoholic, however, and the alcohol could be better integrated.
