    How does this rum taste?

    • Intense flavor profile
    • Dynamic and complex
    • Collector's item

    The Trelawny Endemic Birds Chestnut Bellied Cuckoo OWH is an exclusive, cask-strength Jamaican rum from the Hampden distillery, bottled by Velier. Distilled from molasses using a pot still in 2012 and aged for eight years, this limited release of only 250 bottles presents an intense profile with notes of spice, must, and elegant white chocolate on the nose. The palate reveals flavors of figs, dates, banana, and sugarcane, with a noticeable warm, oily texture. Users mention a robust ABV that benefits from rest before drinking. While praised for its dynamic taste, it's noted as more a collector's item than an essential buy.

    "27.03.2021 A nice Velier tasting thanks to my friend Cheng from Singapore. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Intense, light wood, fruity, banana, light olive, light varnish, faint floral. Palate Oily, warm, fruity, orange, tannins, light olive, light salty, spice, light floral. Finish Medium to long, warm, wood, fruits, light orange, faint smoke, light floral. Extra note. Needs to rest for a good while of the ABV ruins the full experience."

    "Etwas bitterer, trockener Abgang."

    "A bit woodier and drier than I expected after the last spinner. I wish it had more oatmeal, it's a bit too smooth for a Jamaican. It's not a bad rum, but given the price, I don't need it again."
