Habitation Velier Hampden White Whisky Live 2018 <>H
Neat at 66% this hits hard — glue, olive brine and overripe, almost rotting tropical fruit pour out of the glass, with a wisp of smoke and a faint medicinal note underneath. The palate lands softer than the nose warns, oily and warm, with the alcohol surprisingly well tucked in. One taster catches strawberry and red fruit at the bottom. Loud, unaged Hampden with little to hide behind.
The community says- Big glue funk
- Olive-brine nose
- But: Lacks complexity

Aggregated from 14 community reviews.
Glue-and-olive white Hampden funk bomb Fans of white Hampden rate it a strong, expressive pick — the drawback most name is thin complexity. Too wild for casual sipping, and the heat is real.

#4077 This is a fresh and intense yet well balanced release. Fruity with nice esters and a light roasted note. The palate is warm and oily and there is a very light medicinal note hidden in there. The empty glass reveals some copper and glue notes.

Vielen Dank für das Sample Ralf :). Unaged Rum kommt ja immer mehr in Mode, daher spannender Versuch damals von Velier. Geschmacklich schöner <>H aber mehr als 79 kann ich da einfach nicht geben.
Review by Galli33
Solid Hampden 😎 A lot of glue and a lot of funk🤤 lacks in complexity
Review by Benoit Mahe
On retrouve la trame du blanc jamaïcain mais la finale apporte une certaine sucrosité et gourmandise.
Review by Jacques etdom
Au nez, la saumure d olive deborde du verre, accompagnée de fruits surmuris, voir pourris. Au fond du verre, une légère note de fraise - fruits rouges, qui me fait partir directement vers un savanna herr a l aveugle. Quelques touches de fumee de temps a autres. La bouche confirme le nez, mais de façon plus douce que le nez le laissait présager. Une texte grasse et huileuse. L alcool est superbement intégré. Une finale longue et agréable. J aime énormément.
Review by Jakob
Überzeugender weisser High Ester Jamaikaner. Im Direktvergleich deutlich ausdrucksstärker als die Releases aus der Marks Collection, auch vor dem parallel degustierten Distillery Sample, das aber auch mit nochmal über 10 Volumenprozent mehr daherkam. Tolle Auswahl.
Review by Oliver
Interesting, but for pure enjoyment it is a bit too wild for me.
