Velier Hampden Trelawny Endemic Birds (Yellow Shouldered Grossquit) OWH 2012
Highly praised as a fruity, well-integrated high-proof Hampden that feels softer and more relaxed, with warm tropical notes and light wood, even if some miss the classic Hampden punch.
Fans of Jamaican rum who want a high-proof but relatively relaxed Hampden, with tropical fruit, vanilla and wood rather than full-on funky aggression, and collectors of limited single casks.

A very nice interpretation of a Hampden, I would have loved a bit more kick to it. Fruity as expected with some vanilla and wood on the palate. The ABV makes it nice and warm but something is missing. In my mind it has been tamed too much.
Vraiment impressionnant en terme de goût.. J'avais l'impression de goûter un monymusk et non un hampden.. C'est très différent des hampden à haut voltage traditionnel que nous avons l'habitude de goûter.. Ça manque un peu de punch je trouve.. Un goût de caramel et de boisé assez présent..
More on the bitter, astringent side.
Auto-translatedThis series is more shelf stable than top rums for me, but it's still a very enjoyable Jamaica. Citrus notes masked by that odd bitterness for me. The high ABV is beautifully integrated, but it's missing something.
