Velier Hampden Pure Single Jamaican Rum LROK

Aromas of pineapple, banana, and esters lead to a palate rich in tropical fruits balanced by vanilla and oak. The community notes its approachability and layered nose, though some crave higher intensity—an accessible Hampden that still stands out.

Pineapple, tropical fruit and mellow esters—easygoing Jamaican funk.

    How does this rum taste?

    • Vivid tropical and pineapple notes
    • Smooth and approachable profile
    • Balanced esters for Hampden newcomers

    Tropical fruit and pineapple leap from both nose and palate, backed by classic Jamaican esters and subtle vanilla. While some RumX tasters find it lighter and more approachable than other Hampdens, its accessible 47% ABV and smooth integration make it a fine introduction to funkier Jamaican styles. Worth exploring for those after an easy-drinking yet complex sipper.

    "Nice rum, but too similar to hampden the younger and the 50 euro difference is a tease to the consumer. Unfortunately lately Velier is releasing overpriced bottlings where you pay for the brand and less for the quality of the product. Personally I would never buy it taking into account that the overproof can be found at 80 euros and this at 110 and the younger at 59."

    "... Hampden, the legendary Jamaican distillery that produces rum as well as alcohol for perfume. In all the rums from this distillery you will taste wild esters, after which your whole organism will soak up the smell of golden tropical fruits - mango, papaya, pineapple, peach. One of the "must try before you die" rums"

    "So you smell Hampden right away. In the taste and finish smoky spicy notes overlay the tropical fruits, so you can not really taste concrete fruits out."
