Velier Hampden Trelawny Endemic Birds (Black Billed Streamertail) OWH 2012
"A nice change from the usual Hampdens" is how one member put it — this OWH mark reads softer than the estate's ester bombs. Expect nail polish and glue on the nose, then banana, pineapple and mango on the palate, with minty and woody edges. At 61.8% the alcohol is mostly well integrated, though a few tasters felt it needs more time to settle.
The community says- Tropical fruit funk
- Long spicy finish
- Alcohol not fully integrated

How does Velier Hampden Trelawny Endemic Birds (Black Billed Streamertail) OWH 2012 taste?
Aggregated from 19 community reviews.
Milder Hampden funk, banana and glue Most people liked this milder Hampden: funky glue-and-tropical-fruit character with a long spicy-fruity finish. The catch a couple raised is the alcohol not being fully integrated yet.

Review by Agricoler
Tag 13 Sample de Luxe Kalender. Mein erstes OWH und ganz ehrlich das ist mal eine gelungene Abwechslung zu den sonstigen leckeren Hampdens. Sehr schöne Balance zwischen Frucht und Gewürzen.
Review by martin slezák
Slepá degustácia Farba niečo medzi tmavožltou a jantárovou Vôňa mäta, riedidlo, odlakovač, prezretý banán Chuť tropicke ovocie, ananas, mango, zrelý banán penicilin, čistič Dlhý záver korenisto ovocný ABV okolo 55% Jamaica tipujem long pond Toto ma baví

#4721 09.05.2024 Relaxing at home with a few of my Endemic Birds Samples. Nose Light wood, balanced, fruity, faint roasted, light glue, pineapple, ester. Palate Round, balanced, light glue, ester, banana, fruity, light citrus, light wood. Finish Medium long, round, medium dry, fruity, pineapple, wood, faint smoke. The empty glass has light chocolate, light cherry, apple and light grass.
Review by Romain de L
Honestly very much liked it. Nice nose - complex, a bit funky / spicy / woody. Strong attack, perhaps a tad too much alcohol - but manageable. Aromas of leather, girofle, spice, fruit. Long agreeable finish
Review by Filip Šikula
Vůni na mě výrazná spíš méně, trochu máty a lepidla. V chuti je přijemná vyvalženost ovoce a štiplavé kořenitosti. Alkohol je příjemně integrovaný, závěr hřejivý, ale já osobně malm u této serie problém s poměrem cena výkon.
