Velier Hampden Trelawny Endemic Birds (Black Bird) OWH 2012
Highly praised as a balanced, expressive low-ester Hampden with fresh citrus fruit, light funk and creamy mouthfeel. Long, satisfying finish when given time to open up in the glass.
Fans of Jamaican funk who enjoy a more elegant, low-ester side of Hampden and don’t mind working with a cask strength rum to unlock its full creamy, fruity profile.

27.03.2021 A nice Velier tasting thanks to my friend Cheng from Singapore. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Fresh, light wood, faint smoke, fruity, light polish, faint grass, light floral, faint chocolate. Palate Warm, wood, light smoke, fruity, pineapple, light caramel, faint chocolate, light olive, faint salt, light floral. Finish Medium long and warm, wood, pineapple, faint chocolate, light floral, spice. Extra note. Needs to rest for a good while or the ABV will cover the full experience.
Ein top OWH zu leider absurden Preisen. Der Black Bird bringt ein angenehmes, leicht cremiges Mundgefühl mit. Der Allohol ist gut integriert. Schöne Zitrusfruchtnote, grüner Apfel, helle Weintraube, angenehme Säure, etwas Holz, etwas Olive. Was will man mehr erwarten von einem OWH … Gut, andere Preise vielleicht
Great Hampden. All the markers are there with a subtle balance. Powerful finish on the... coffee... rather original and especially very pleasant!
Überragende Nase des Black Bird OWH. Aprikose, Zitrusfrüchte, Holz und enorm viel Frische. Am Gaumen dasselbe, lediglich der Alkohol braucht ein wenig Luft….alos gerne mal 30 Minuten warten vor dem verkosten. Dann ist er perfekt. Fast eine 9….
