Review by Kieron Wood
The nosing reveals oranges , pecans ,cherry's chocolates and apples . The taste is quite dry with the hit of more nuts maybe a macadamia nut , the moves into a delicate dunder and with a finish of olive oil ... This is an incredible pot still ...62.5% boom 🤯

Review by Ian Gilman
First venture into Velier, “high ester” world and was very happy. Bought this for my wedding and have enjoyed it multiple times since. One of my favorites.
Review by Johannes
Very good, but I think the whites of the higher marks are better.
Review by Alan Champion
So tasty and funky. I could smell it all day except that the palate is so good. A little bit of a tire fire, but dang do I love it. The tropical fruits surrounding the melting plastic really solidify it for me as an amazing bottle.

Review by Rare Akuma
The nose is full of fruits with banana, overripe mango and sour currants. Earthy sugarcane provides some sweetness. Subtle wood and citrus notes from juniper evolve into spicy ginger, and end in fresh grass. Red fruit bubblegum on the palate quickly turning earthy and fresh with rhubarb and more sugarcane. Lightly woody juniper, but the ginger is replaced by harsher peppers. The entirety is quite roasted and smoky like crispy, dry bacon. Finish is again very immediate and light. Red fruits and flowery, with lots of eucalyptus. The experience is eclectic. The nose and taste are quite different. Very interesting. Smell the glass extensively, take a couple of sips and smell again. Be amazed at how it evolved to something completely different.

Thinking about the price tag you get a lot for your money. Fresh and fruity with nice workshop notes in the back. I like the very light smoky note hidden in the profile.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Au nez, on se retrouve directement dans le département production de chez pattex (c’est de la colle pour ceux qui ne sont pas très bricoleurs). C’est ultra chargé en ester, il y a du caoutchouc, des solvants, du vernis à ongles … Mais pas que, on retrouve quelques épices et du fruité exotique comme Hampden sait nous en sortir (melon et zeste de citron). C’est très frais et fruité. La bouche est puissante et alcoolique mais ne nous assommes pas malgré les 62.5%. C’est plutôt surprenant. On retrouve le funky d’Hampden et ses esters, son olive et du fruité bien expressif (pomme verte).

Review by Thunderbird
Ein frischer knuspriger Jamaicaner mit angenehmer Ester! Der Alkohol ist spürbar aber für so einen jungen Rum sehr gut eingebunden! Top!
Review by Daniel
Fazit: Vor allem taugt mir die sehr fruchtige Nase. Im Geschmack fallen die für Hampden sonst nicht so typischen Schokoaromen besonders auf.
