Velier Hampden The Younger (300cl) LROK 2016
Highly praised Hampden LROK with vibrant fruit, classic funk and well‑integrated alcohol. Considered great value and a fun, ceremony-worthy bottling for both sipping and mixing.
Fans of Jamaican funk who want a slightly dialed‑back ABV; great for Hampden lovers seeking a fruity, estery sipper that also shines in Espresso Martinis and Kingston Negronis.

How does this rum taste?
Fruity Hampden funk, easygoing strength
If you enjoy Hampden but don’t always want cask strength, this hits the sweet spot: real LROK funk, big tropical fruit and good value in a playful, ceremony-style format.
Those who dislike solventy/varnish aromas or expect deep, long-aged complexity; beginners fully new to funky Jamaican styles may find it a bit intense.

In the glass, the rum has a golden color and a delicate aroma of mango, banana, pepper and varnish. The taste offers notes of pineapple, orange peel and cloves. I LOVE IT 😁
Um yes, a good Hampden, I love Hampden. A nice fruity note on the nose and palate. And that's about it. Very tasty in any case, the alcohol is well integrated, really very tasty. Top rum.
Yes, finally another very tasty Hampden Velier. I think it's really very good for the price. Tastes slightly fruity, a bit like ester. Alcohol well integrated. I can recommend it at any time.
In direct comparison with the CDI LROK (RX2382), The Younger has more glue, varnish, esters and olive. Fruity notes are also present, but not as prominent as in the CDI. The CDI is rounder overall, the Younger has more funk.
