Velier Hampden Single Cask (Selected for Velier) C<>H 2021
People already deep into Hampden funk are the ones who'll get this. Heavy esters hit the nose first — glue, burnt rubber, almost rotting fruit — then the sherry cask brings raisins, nuts and a meaty, umami, savory side. Tropical fruit and banana sit underneath. At 64% and only 4 years, it's wild and a touch raw, but several found the alcohol surprisingly well integrated.
- Heavy esters
- Meaty umami depth
- Long finish

Aggregated from 16 community reviews.
Wild, meaty, ester-heavy young Hampden Loved by funk fans for its intense, meaty, ester-heavy profile and long finish. A couple felt it's too young and hot, with a dominant finish and "wild TECA" notes that won't suit everyone.

Review by Oliver
Am Anfang erinnert er an das klassische Pagos-Profil. Am Gaumen kommt dann aber eine extrem wilde TECA-Note dazu, fleischig, umami und grüner Apfel. Hat richtig Power, gefällt mir sehr gut! 🔥
Review by zabo
Meines Erachtens ist hier das Finish doch sehr Dominant und das gefällt mir persönlich nicht. Ein wenig von dem jamaikanischen Hampden Funk ist zwar erkennbar, mehr aber auch nicht. Für den Preis der aufgerufen wird, hätte es ein Pagos für weniger Geld auch getan.
Review by Skyfly
Interessanter C<>H, bei dem man ab dem Gaumen einen starken Fasseinfluss spürt. Umami und etwas fleischiges gepaart mit Estern, tropischen Früchten und leichtem Rotwein halten recht lange im Abgang an. Nach längerer Zeit im Glas muss ich sagen, dass er mir immer besser gefällt.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Wahnsinnig toller und überraschend runder Hampden für das doch junge Alter! Der Sherry Einfluss ist angenehmerweise nicht zu dominant, ich würde hier auf Oloroso oder Amontillado tippen aufgrund der nussigen und salzigen Aromen. Sehr stimmig funky und fruchtig sowie leicht fleischig/umami. Schönes Ding! Für 64% brutal gut integrierter Alkohol!
Review by Righrum
Funnily enough, I have had another chance to taste this rum almost 3 years ago. Last day of Whisky Live Paris 2023, Luca Gargano Masterclass about sherry aged Hampden, and one of the samples was exactly this one, C<>H 2021 Barrel #C. Not my favourite of the masterclass thou. Little Memory of the profile, but for sure nowadays is a completely different beast. The esters are really heavy and on the nose they hit your nostrils. Only later come some really red fruit marmelade, a bit "hogo". Rotting fruit and meat dominate the palate, with the esters that despite the level, struggle in showing up. Nice rum, good complexity and a neverending finish, clearly the best ex sherry Hampden so far
Review by Leo Krüper
Für mich ist der Rum zu jung und unrund. Vielleicht auch zu viel % für meinen Geschmack heutzutage. Alles knallt zu sehr, das Finish, die Ester. 5 Jahre mehr und man hätte hier sicher einen Weltklasse Rum.
