Review by Maxence
Very underrated rum in my opinion. Nose is fantastic with a lot of fruits and sweetness. Mouth is less complex but still very good.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
27.03.2021 A nice Velier tasting thanks to my friend Cheng from Singapore. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Wood, medium intense, light roasted, fruity, cinnamon, faint smoke, pineapples, light vegetal. Palate Oily, wood, light roasted, pineapple, spice, vegetal, faint smoke, light berries, faint chocolate. Finish Medium long, wood, oily, fruits, berries, faint orange. Extra note. Needs to rest for a good while to even out the ABV and release all flavours.
Review by raphael galak
Odeur de mélasse et de sucre brun, nez assez timide. Rondeur en bouche, intégration de l’alcool très intéressante. Cacao beurré, épices fraîche, menthol, boisé léger, gourmand et petite mangue
Review by Tom Buteneers
Tasted by chance, next to the Hampden overproof. Less fruit, (too much) alcohol, menthol, licorice, pine...Not worth its money for me personally.
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
Nez assez timide, peu de fruit et pas mal d’alcool. La bouche est vive et aussi un peu en dedans même si la réglisse, l’eucalyptus lui donnent un peu de relief, mais il a aussi une touche savonneuse pas des plus agréables, ça manque de fruit et de gourmandise, assez loin de ce qu’on peut attendre d’un Hampden.
