Velier Hampden Triple Entente
Sipped neat it's a young, unaged Hampden that drinks lighter than its 62% suggests — the alcohol is well tucked in. Expect pineapple, olive brine, overripe tropical fruit and a solvent-glue edge, turning more vegetal and sour on the finish. Several tasters called it the roundest, best-balanced pour in the Triple Entente set; a few found it too sour and too herbal to love.

The look inside the bottle
How does Velier Hampden Triple Entente taste?
Aggregated from 32 community reviews.
Young Hampden, fruity with a sour vegetal edge Most rate it the pick of the Triple Entente set — balanced, creamy, easy for the strength. The catch: it can turn sour and vegetal, and a few found it flat and collector-only.

Review by Olimpia1936
Un Hampden più rotondo, meno acetone, vernice, olive in salamoia, più fruttato equilibrato. Piaciuto molto
Review by LukaŽiga
8,3:On the nose, the first impression we get are fermented, estery tropical fruits and vegetal, nutty molasses with some confectionery. On aeration, we are whirled in winterly feeling with baking spices and herbal, dried fruits notes as with more rest we come to earthy, peated notes. Nicely integrated alcohol. 8,4:On the palate, the attack is estery with fruity and confectionery like notes, overripe tropical, dried fruits and sweet, nutty, caramelized pastry. The molasses is vegetal and earthy, spicy and waxy.We might get a feeling of tasting sweet pastry with delicious fruit marmelade. After resting the rum, new wave of tasting notes arise, a bit more bitter with peat, olive, hay, phenol.Even some pear and saddle notes come out. 8,4:The finish is long, delicious with fruit marmelade and different vegetal notes with some spice, nuts...
Review by Schnubbi
According to the Velier website, a new High Ester Mark R<>H in honor of Ruth Hussey with 800-900 gr/hlpa. Well, let's see... Glue and tropical fruits on the nose, very balanced. Also very smooth and balanced on the palate. Alcohol perfectly integrated, incredibly easy to drink despite the high ester and over 60%. Even if all three bottlings of the Entente case do not break new ground in terms of taste, it must be said that all three are really high-quality brandies, without any off-notes and really round and balanced and easy to drink despite the high ABV. My ranking: Hampden > Neisson > Foursquare
Review by zabo
The whole Entente set had to face DomM and me, both neat and in a daiquiri. The Foursquare is very interesting, but takes some getting used to. I had a certain cauliflower, cooked kohlrabi association here. In my opinion, the Hampden is the most balanced and the typical Hampden notes are also easy to recognize unaged. The alcohol is also perfectly integrated here. The Neisson is as it should be and what you expect from it, not bad but unfortunately nothing outstanding either. The ranking remains the same both neat and in a daiquiri. 1st Hampden 2nd Foursquare 3rd Neisson
Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
Un nez très gourmand, sur les fruits tropicaux, les épices, la vanille et les ester. En bouche c’est puissant, salé, avec encore énormément de fruits. Assez atypique on a pas l’impression d’avoir un Hampden blanc tellement il y a de la rondeur. Très différent des blancs du coffret 8 marks.
Review by Thunderbird
Today the Velier Triple Entente in the glass. The last of the bunch: Hampden Here, too, the nose is the most appealing! Almost as one-dimensional on the palate as the Foursquare, only a little more pleasing and intense. I'm glad I resisted the temptation to buy this set. Perhaps still okay as a show and collector's item, but nothing more.
Review by DomM
Starts off very spice heavy with cinnamon and backing spices. Some vanilla and cream. With some time to breath tropical fruits and fruit acids show up. A hint of smoke. Well balanced on the palate with a nice creamy texture. Some sweetness and fruits (pineapple and citrus) take center stage. Some bitterness and a hint of salt towards the finish.
Review by Michal S
Mladý Hampden, ještě takový neotesaný. Dá se pít i čistý, ale je to trochu na sílu.
Review by Johannes
Very good Hampden without any off-notes. Fruity taste, not a high ester monster.
