Habitation Velier Hampden Single Cask Selected by LMDW <>H 2010
Pour this neat and give it room — at 69.2% it drinks far calmer than the number suggests, with pineapple hitting first, then banana, glue, cinnamon and baked-pastry sweetness over light wood. Several tasters called it one of the best Hampdens they've had, "a bombe esterisée" of fruit and funk. A few found it a touch one-dimensional, but the balance and easy ABV win most over.
- Vivid pineapple
- Tamed high ABV
- Balanced esters

Aggregated from 21 community reviews.
Fruity, funky Hampden with tamed high proof Most rate it a top Hampden — fruity, funky, beautifully balanced with pineapple up front and shockingly smooth for the strength. The honest catch: a couple found it one-dimensional with a medium finish.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Enjoying a RumX Chairman's reserve while writing about the three samples I cracked open earlier today. A very nice Hampden and the nose arrives as soon as you open the bottme/sample. Fruity with light wood and spices. Well balanced in the ABV. Thr empty glass is wonderful with nice and strong flavours.
Review by Mike H.
89 points. Solvents, tropical fruit, funk, pastries, wood and brown sugar. A little olive in the finish. Extremely round. Very nice but certainly not worth today’s price of admission.
Review by lamb Dave
good. Typical hampden, intuitive pineapple flavor, but also means homogeneity. It has a good length of finish, but a little bit less complicated. solvents, tropical fruits (with their sour) and baked pastries are overwhelming, cover the rest. And alcohol doesn't integrate very well, so masks some other delightful elements under the interference of alcohol. Regardless of ester content, this lack of flavor is really unacceptable. In addition, the price is seriously off the ground. too expensive, not worth for me.
