HGML esters 1000-1100 Continental Flavoured
Angel's Share: >64%
Bottles: 800
Distillation: Double Retort Pot Still
Aging: 9y tropical aging at Hampden
Mark: HGML (Hampden George MacFarquhar Lawson)

The nose starts rich, but not agressive. Everything is in a great balance and very fruity. This is the best Hampden nose I had so far. The nose is sweeter than a C<>H nose.
It gets more parfumed and grasy over time.

The taste starts sour, too sour in my opinion. The nose was much sweeter.
I get sour apple and orange, then the taste turns into acid. In the middle the sour notes reduces and the taste gets beautiful with malt and tropical fruits, then I get glue at the end.
The finish starts with spice, malt, caramel and pineapple, at the end are again the sour apples.
The aftertaste is beautiful.

The sour notes are too dominant in my opinion. The rest is very beautiful.
Therefore I would give it a rating of 88.

This bottling of Habitation Velier comes from Jamaica from the Hampden Distillery and was made in 2010 in pot style. The rum carries the Mark HGML and is therefore a high ester rum with 769 gr/hlpa. The rum was in 2020 after 10 years of tropical aging without additives or filtration at cask strength of 62% alcohol. There are 800 pieces.

The rum is super balanced on the nose. It shows that HGML is the golden middle and ester notes, tropical fruit like pineapple, a nice sweetness and spice with vanilla, but also glue and fermented fruit harmonize perfectly. The alcohol is barely noticeable. Powerful, balanced and funky. Round and tasty. On the palate everything is nice and round and creamy. Tropical fruit, esters, vanilla and caramelized fruit. But also seasoning with more wood to the finish. The aromas persist here for a long time and esters as far as spiciness and fermented notes show an absolutely balanced picture.

An absolute top Hampden and top rum. This is funk without a hint of aggressiveness. It's a place to chill. The rum is round, creamy and the tropical storage is incredibly well done. Tastes absolutely delicious and addictive. Spectacular.

Diese Abfüllung von Habitation Velier kommt aus Jamaika von der Hampden Distillerie und wurde 2010 im Pot Style hergestellt.

Der Rum wurde 2020 nach 10 Jahren tropischer Reifung ohne Zusatzstoffe oder Filtration in Fassstärke von 62% Alkohol in 800 Flaschen abgefüllt.

Der Rum ist super ausbalanciert in der Nase. Es zeigt das HGML die goldenen Mitte ist und Ester Noten, tropische Frucht wie Ananas, eine schöne Süße und Würze mit Vanille, aber auch Klebstoff und vergorene Frucht perfekt harmonieren. Der Alkohol ist kaum wahrnehmbar. Kräftig, ausbalanciert und funky. Rund und lecker. Am Gaumen dann alles schön rund und cremig. Tropische Frucht, Ester, Vanille und Karamellisierte Frucht. Aber auch Würze mit mehr Holz zum Abgang. Die Aromen bleiben hier lange bestehen und Ester soweit Würze und vergorene Noten zeigen ein absolut aisgewogenes Bild.

Ein absoluter top Hampden und top Rum. Hier ist Funk ohne einen Hauch von Aggressivität. Hier wird gechillt. Der Rum ist rund, cremig und die tropische Lagerung ist unfassbar gut gelungen. Schmeckt absolut lecker und macht Süchtig. Spektakulär.
