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.

How does Velier Hampden The Younger (300cl) LROK 2016 taste?

Summarized by AI from 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.

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 😁

Uhh yes, a good Hampden, I love Hampden. A nice fruity note on nose and palate. That's about it. Definitely very tasty, the alcohol well integrated, really very tasty. Top rum.
