Velier Hampden The Younger (300cl) LROK 2016
Sip this one slowly — the giant bottle comes with a pipette, so pouring it neat turns into a bit of a ceremony. Expect classic Hampden funk: pineapple, mango, glue and varnish on the nose, with orange peel and clove on the palate. The 47% sits well, never hot. A few tasters also caught a surprising smoky edge and put it to work in Espresso Martinis and Kingston Negronis.
The community says- Pineapple and ester funk
- Alcohol well integrated
- But: Divisive solvent notes

How does Velier Hampden The Younger (300cl) LROK 2016 taste?
Aggregated from 19 community reviews.
Fruity, funky Hampden with glue and pineapple A well-liked, fruity LROK Hampden — plenty of ester and solvent funk with the alcohol nicely tucked in. One reviewer found it funkier and less fruit-forward than the CDI LROK.

Opening the pack is an event in itself. Exactly what I like about rum, the pipette and the large vat ensure that you take your time and drinking rum becomes a ceremony. Nose classic Hampden funk, surprisingly smoky in taste. Mouth!
Review by Basti
In direct comparison with the CDI LROK (RX2382), The Younger has more glue, varnish, esters and olive. Fruity notes are also present, but not as prominent as in the CDI. The CDI is rounder overall, the Younger has more funk.
Review by Michael Ihmels 🇩🇪
Yes, finally another very tasty Hampden Velier. I think it's really very good for the price. Tastes slightly fruity, a bit like ester. Alcohol well integrated. I can recommend it at any time.
Review by Timo Groeger
Um yes, a good Hampden, I love Hampden. A nice fruity note on the nose and palate. And that's about it. Very tasty in any case, the alcohol is well integrated, really very tasty. Top rum.
Review by BTHHo 🥃
In the glass, the rum has a golden color and a delicate aroma of mango, banana, pepper and varnish. The taste offers notes of pineapple, orange peel and cloves. I LOVE IT 😁
