Velier Hampden Trelawny Endemic Birds (Lizard Cuckoo) 2011
Highly praised as a rounded, moderately funky Hampden with ripe tropical fruit, vanilla and warm spice. Oak is present but balanced, making it a focused, characterful sipper for seasoned drinkers.
Fans of Hampden who like some funk but prefer a drier, bourbon‑leaning cask strength profile with tropical fruit, banana and vanilla rather than full-on glue and overripe intensity.

How does this rum taste?
Rounded, bourbon‑leaning Hampden funk
If you enjoy Hampden but find some bottlings too wild, this bird hits a sweet spot: proper esters and tropical fruit, yet rounded by oak and bourbon-like vanilla at full strength.
Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV, or drinkers expecting ultra-wild high‑ester Hampden explosions instead of a more controlled, woody and slightly bitter style.

K tomuhle ptáčkovinse vracím po několika měsících podruhé, a bohužel ho to bude stát pár bodů hodnocení, protože mám víc s čím srovnat. Opět se objevuje hořkost, a takový divný odchod v hrdle, opět takové zbytečně moc uhlazené. Přesto z doposud ochutnaných ptáčků nejlepší.
