Habitation Velier Hampden LMDW 60th LROK HLCF 2010
You might expect a wild ester bomb from a 60% Hampden, but this LROK/HLCF blend surprises people by being gentle and balanced. Caramelized pineapple, banana, mango and a touch of glue and solvent, with oak underneath. Several tasters call it an elegant everyday Hampden — funky but easy-drinking, the esters dialed back a step. The 60% stays warm and creamy rather than harsh.

Balanced, fruity Hampden that stays easy-going Most find it a rare, well-made Hampden blend — tropical, funky and surprisingly balanced for the proof. Main gripe isn't the rum: it's how hard and scarce it is to find.

... 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"

Price to quality is very good.
Review by SaibotZtar
Really good blend... Unfortunately incredibly difficult or expensive to get.
Review by Vincent D
Very elegant nose. Funky. Glue-like. A grassy sensation. Very balanced. On the palate, warm, intense, woody, fruity. Very good. Very elegant. Funky, but not just on the esters. Slight acidity on the finish. Long finish. Nice to get down a little on the esters.
Review by Benoit Mahe
An elegant nose of caramelized pineapple and esters. The palate is soft and balanced, with tropical fruits (banana, pineapple, mango) and the esters still present, though a little subdued. The rum fades fairly quickly, leaving a warm, creamy, spicy sensation on the palate. A fine everyday Hampden, balanced and smooth, but still letting the distillery's typical markers shine through.

Quel régal. Vraiment top. Dommage que je n’ai qu’un sample de 5cl car c’est super bon
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
Nez magnifique avec énormément de fruit, un peu de solvant, mais c’est très équilibré, petite acidité à la Hampden, et de la gourmandise avec des notes pâtissières. Une bouche joliment complexe, un alcool bien maîtrisé, on a pas mal de fruits mais aussi un peu de bonbon arlequin, du biscuit, c’est vraiment intéressant. Une belle finale fruité et gourmande.

Read full review →Now I haven't tried the LROK on its own (please feel free to forward a sample anyone) but this has certainly moved the already excellent HLCF up a notch for me. Buy all you you can find!
