Habitation Velier Hampden Single Cask Selected by LMDW <>H 2010
Poured neat is the only way to meet this one: at 69.2% the nose fills the room before you sip, all pineapple, glue and banana with young oak underneath. Tasters call it a "bombe esterisée" — cinnamon-cookie fruit, brown sugar, a touch of olive and leather on a long finish. The ABV integrates well, though a couple found it a bit one-dimensional.
The community says- Big ester punch
- Pineapple and pastry
- ABV well integrated

How does Habitation Velier Hampden Single Cask Selected by LMDW <>H 2010 taste?
Aggregated from 21 community reviews.
Powerful, pineapple-driven Hampden ester bomb Widely loved as one of the better <>H marks — pineapple, esters and pastry over young wood, with the cask strength beautifully tamed. A few call it slightly one-note.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Enjoying a RumX Chairman's reserve while writing about the three samples I cracked open earlier today. A very nice Hampden and the nose arrives as soon as you open the bottme/sample. Fruity with light wood and spices. Well balanced in the ABV. Thr empty glass is wonderful with nice and strong flavours.
Review by Mike H.
89 points. Solvents, tropical fruit, funk, pastries, wood and brown sugar. A little olive in the finish. Extremely round. Very nice but certainly not worth today’s price of admission.
Review by lamb Dave
good. Typical hampden, intuitive pineapple flavor, but also means homogeneity. It has a good length of finish, but a little bit less complicated. solvents, tropical fruits (with their sour) and baked pastries are overwhelming, cover the rest. And alcohol doesn't integrate very well, so masks some other delightful elements under the interference of alcohol. Regardless of ester content, this lack of flavor is really unacceptable. In addition, the price is seriously off the ground. too expensive, not worth for me.
