Aroma visualization from community tastings
Habitation Velier Hampden Single Cask Berlin Bar Convent OWH 2011
Opinion lands mostly warm but not unanimous: several tasters call this a rounded, easy-sipping Hampden that gives you the house character without the wild ester punch, while a couple found it unspectacular or too hot. Expect pineapple and tropical fruit, a lick of solvent and polish, plenty of oak, and a warm, spicy finish. One reviewer even rated it above the HGML.
The community says- Rounded, easy for cask strength
- Real Hampden character
- Wood can dominate

How does Habitation Velier Hampden Single Cask Berlin Bar Convent OWH 2011 taste?
Aggregated from 29 community reviews.
Low-ester Hampden, fruity and oak-forward A well-liked low-ester Hampden — rounded, fruity, cask-strength but drinkable. Some love the softer style; a few find the wood too dominant and the alcohol a bit raw.

Probiert auf der Spree-Rundfahrt mit Kirsch zum 12. GRF: Gutes Low-Ester Single-Cask, das Hampden-Geschmack auch ohne krasse Ester liefern kann

Nice easy sipping Hampden. Personally, however, I like the higher ester marks better. Nevertheless, a great single cask from Velier!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Entspannter low ester Hampden unterm Radar! Schönes rundes Ding, Alkohol könnte nur etwas besser eingebunden sein. Und der Holz Einfluss ist mir hier insgesamt etwas zu dominant, dennoch ein toller OWH Mal zur Abwechslung.

Verkostet auf der Pueblo del Ron Nürnberg 2024. Leider hat mich diese Abfüllung so gar nicht abgeholt. Der Preis der dafür aufgerufen wird ist meines Erachtens der Rum nicht wert. Fand ihn leider ziemlich enttäuschend
Review by Serge
Verkostet am Kirsch Stand auf der Village in Nürnberg. Nette, runde Low Ester Nase mit leckerer Kombo aus Vanille, Früchten, Gewürzen und Politur mit Lösungsmitteln. Am Gaumen dann leider doch etwas alkoholisch und bissig sowie mir etwas zu frisch.

Messebewertung. Ziemlich unspektakulärer Rum.
Review by Pavel Spacek
... Hampden, legendarni jamajska destilerka, ktera krome rumu produkuje take alkohol do parfemu. Ve vsech rumech z teto destilerky ucitite divoke estery, po kterych cely vas organizmus nasakne vuni zluteho tropickeho ovoce - manga, papaji, anansu, broskvi. Jeden z rumu, ktere "must try before die"
Review by Sebastiaan Linssen
Tasted at German Rum Festival Very nice surprise. Better than the Hampden HGML
