Velier Hampden Cristina de Middel DOK 2021
Highly praised ester monster: huge overripe fruit, glue and citrus at 60%, surprisingly controlled for such young DOK, with a very long, satisfying finish and strong Hampden identity.
Seasoned Jamaican fans who love ultra-high-ester Hampden, overripe fruit, glue/varnish notes and want a concentrated, limited-release DOK case study at strong but manageable 60%.

How does Velier Hampden Cristina de Middel DOK 2021 taste?
High-ester Hampden beast, surprisingly balanced
If you already enjoy Hampden <>H or other high-ester bottlings, this DOK keeps the same funky DNA but pushes the ester dial further while staying relatively controlled at 60%.
Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV, or drinkers who dislike funky glue/varnish aromas and very intense, non-everyday sippers at a premium price.

#5705 27.09.2025 Day one of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. This is a nice ester bomb with a whole load of overripe and rotten fruit. I still didn't convince me and the price tag is too high in my mind. Intense and fruity with light wood, ester, glue and spices and a very long finish.
Elle se compose de quatre rhums Hampden, âgés de 4 à 9 ans, tous embouteillés à 60 % : DOK 2021 HGML 2018 <>H 2017 LROK 2016 S’il fallait en retenir un, ce serait le <>H 2017, doté d’une belle douceur naturelle, bien équilibré et fruité, même s’il manque un peu de longueur en bouche. Sur le plan gustatif, cette série n’a rien de révolutionnaire, mais elle se distingue par ses magnifiques étiquettes signées Cristina de Middel, qui subliment la distillerie Hampden à travers son regard artistique.
Très bon DOK même si bien sûr ça n'est pas un rhum de tous les jours.
