Velier Hampden The Younger LROK

Aroma bursts with pineapple, banana, esters, and classic Jamaican funk; palate is fruit-driven, lightly spicy, and gently funky. Repeatedly commended for value and accessibility—an inviting Hampden that over-delivers for its price.

    How does this rum taste?

    • Vibrant tropical fruit and esters
    • Great value for quality
    • Accessible introduction to Hampden

    Tropical fruit and familiar Hampden esters leap from the glass, with pineapple, banana, and a gentle funk providing the core experience. The palate delivers more fruit, subtle spice, and approachable funk, backed by lively esters but softened by its youth and 47% ABV. Frequently praised for great value and balanced approachability, this accessible Jamaican is a staple for those curious about funk or seeking an easy sipper. Worth exploring for fans of fruity, vibrant rums, or anyone starting their Hampden journey.

    "Thinking about the cost this is a very good rum. Fruity and funky from the nose to the finish. I really like the clove that comes in the finish."

    "Typical Jamaican, both in smell and taste. Varnish, esters, very ripe fruit on the nose. no big surprise on the palate, except for its freshness. short finish, but it's a young rum, so not surprising in my opinion. Nice to start a Hampden line-up. Edit 05/02/2022: every time I come back to it, I tell myself that this first batch of Younger is a real success. I haven't had the opportunity to taste anything this good for the same price in all of 2021. Gosh, it's a good way to start a little tasting. Edit 09/2023: tasted again and sensations confirmed"
