    How does this rum taste?

    The Trelawny Endemic Birds (Red Billed Streamertail) LFCH is a limited edition Jamaican rum from Hampden distillery, bottled by Velier. Distilled in 2011 from molasses using a pot still, this rum is aged nine years and bottled at cask strength with an ABV of 60.3%. It boasts aromas of vanilla, solvents, and tropical fruit. On the palate, it offers a profile of light, dry notes with hints of honey and dark chocolate. User reviews highlight its intriguing balance of alcohol integration with a hint of menthol and woodiness but note its subtle aroma and relatively limited fruit profile compared to other Hampden rums.

    Very underrated rum in my opinion. Nose is fantastic with a lot of fruits and sweetness. Mouth is less complex but still very good.

    27.03.2021 A nice Velier tasting thanks to my friend Cheng from Singapore. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Wood, medium intense, light roasted, fruity, cinnamon, faint smoke, pineapples, light vegetal. Palate Oily, wood, light roasted, pineapple, spice, vegetal, faint smoke, light berries, faint chocolate. Finish Medium long, wood, oily, fruits, berries, faint orange. Extra note. Needs to rest for a good while to even out the ABV and release all flavours.

    Odeur de mélasse et de sucre brun, nez assez timide. Rondeur en bouche, intégration de l’alcool très intéressante. Cacao beurré, épices fraîche, menthol, boisé léger, gourmand et petite mangue

    Tasted by chance, next to the Hampden overproof. Less fruit, (too much) alcohol, menthol, licorice, pine...Not worth its money for me personally.
