Fresh-cut grass, chamomile and wet minerals lead here, with light grapes and a grapefruit edge — one taster even called it a sweeter Clairin. This unaged Seychelles pot-still cane-juice rum runs green and vegetal, but the 56% alcohol sits awkwardly and the finish drops off fast. Several members found it thin and one-dimensional neat, and better used in a mix.

How does Habitation Velier Takamaka 2021 taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Green, mineral cane rum, better mixed Divides opinion: fans enjoy the fresh, mineral cane character, but many find the alcohol poorly integrated, short-finishing and flat neat. Most agree it works better mixed.

Esters quite soft (compared to Jamaican), cane rather rich/sweet, it drinks by itself. On the taste it's mostly fruity, I'd say maybe grapefruit! Also mineral notes, and a bit of herbs. In the end, light but very interesting! We'll redo the lineup tonight, interesting!

So pure the thing is unfortunately really quite boring I must say, sorry ... Very one-dimensional, something hay, trust and lemon peel, as well as chamomile more does not happen here even after 30 minutes. Hardly any fruit, no funk. Even in the daiquiri happens here not really much to justify a price of 60€ for a white rum, whose original takamaka bottlings partly only 20-30€ cost. Here I am really very disappointed. Too bad!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I think this one would do very well in a cola with a slice of lime, but that's something I'll try later. The nose is fresh and fruity with grass and floral . The palate is light, fresh and oily with raisins, grass and floral notes as well as a hint of mint. The finish is medium long and light with fruits and grassy notes.
Review by Galli33
Buh… What can I say… Really some type of rum I wouldn’t recommend to drink neat… This one I would rather see in some mixed drinks… The alcohol isn’t integrated well and gives it a strange note. First disappointing one from Velier 😅
Review by Johannes
Does not have to be drunk neat. The alcohol is not particularly well integrated. I miss the fruits here.
Review by Eric Frechin
Nose on rather agricole notes due to the presence of sugar cane and vegetal. The palate is quite difficult to define, drier than the nose, I find an earthy side with vegetal leaning towards vegetables (beetroot, Jerusalem artichoke). The taste fades quickly for a short iodine finish.
Review by Rare Akuma
Nosing reveals a very mineralic profile. Springwater, fresh rain on dusty stones, old iron tools and weathered leather, chalk. Accompanied by light fruits, foremost grapes, and ofcourse agricole notes. The taste is heavy on minerals and freshly cut grass. Some green olive brine with herbs and a tiny bit of flowers. Finishes very quick, dry and -again- mineralic. And even though it’s 56%, it feels light. I would not recommend sipping this, but I tried this in a couple of tikis where the harsh agricole flavours do have their place. That being said, a barspoon of this makes a great Fay Wray.
Review by Émile Shevek
On the nose it is velvety, despite the citrus notes, accompanied by slight matured fruit, dry chamomile and a bit of herring/olives. On the palate it is very delicate, shows 10 degrees less, floral and fruity notes mixed with a fine cane sweetness come forward. Then in the finish some medicinal notes, hay and eucalyptus. It reminds me somewhat of Chalong Bay wild fermentation. It is a very short and light finish, lacking character, I expected something more colorful.
Review by ElReyTristan
Disappointed on the nose, it’s not very aromatic. When diving in, a vegetal aspect starts to emerge. On the palate this vegetal develops into licorice sticks but it stops there. Probably more for a ti-punch but it’s not a blast for me.
Review by Arnaud Letellier
Makes me think of a sweeter version of a Clairin World Champioship. Really good 😁
Review by Benoit Mahe
Not a great nose but a nice palate.
