Sipped neat or built into a punchy daiquiri, this unaged Hampden hits with overripe banana, pineapple and mango wrapped in nail polish, glue and burning rubber. One taster called it "a bit of a tire fire" and meant it as a compliment. Chocolate and a light smoky note surprise on the palate. At 62.5% the heat is real but reviewers found it well-tied for something this young.
The community says- Banana and pineapple

How does Habitation Velier Hampden White LROK 2018 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Young, funky Hampden banana-and-glue bomb Members love the fruity, glue-heavy Hampden funk and how well the alcohol sits for such a young rum. A few note astringent bitterness and a hot, peppery finish.

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.

Very good, but I think the whites of the higher marks are better.
Review by Eric Frechin
You can clearly find all the Hampden markers in this rum: ripe fruits, banana and pineapple, solvent (more on the nose than on the palate). I found the alcohol quite biting on the palate, leaving a spicy sensation. The average finish surprised me a bit, as I thought it would fade, but it ends up settling with a beautiful sweet fruity softness.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
On the nose, you immediately find yourself in Pattex's production department (it's glue for those who aren't very handy). It's ultra loaded with esters, there's rubber, solvents, nail polish... But not only that, you find some spices and exotic fruitiness like Hampden knows how to deliver (melon and lemon zest). It's very fresh and fruity. The palate is powerful and alcoholic but doesn't knock us out despite the 62.5%. It's rather surprising. You find Hampden's funk and its esters, its olive and very expressive fruitiness (green apple).

Very cool in a Rum Corman!

Very delicious young, powerful LROK. Nose: fruity ester, funky, pineapple, cocoa, mango, spicy, plum, solvents Mouth: astringent, bitter, dry, ester, banana, apricot, pineapple, smoky, dark chocolate, roasted Finish: dry, mild, fruity, strawberry, banana, apricot, pineapple
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.
Review by Solidfunk
Overripe banana, light nail polish. Seems a bit more potent than the 8 Mark version I had of this. Maybe it's stronger alcohol. Vanilla and coconut. A lot more banana in the mouth. Spicy finish, lots of pepper. A little more nail polish in the mouth. Raw but you can see how this gets a lot suaver with some age. Had a sample of this thanks to xamsx.
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 Thunderbird
A fresh, crisp Jamaican with pleasant esters! The alcohol is noticeable but very well integrated for such a young rum! Top!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
rotten bananas in your face bitch🤣🇯🇲🍌 crazy mild for 62.5%👌🏽💥
Review by Daniel
Conclusion: Above all, I like the very fruity nose. In the taste, the chocolate aromas, which are not so typical for Hampden, stand out particularly.
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 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 Richard Krupa
Beautiful beautiful fruity aroma, but I probably will never drink myself into this
