Habitation Velier 2010 Hampden LROK 6-Year

Today I have a 6y old LROK in the glas. I already tasted LFCH, HGML, C<>H, <>H and some DOKs.
I'm curious what LROK can offer.

The nose is strong with a bite. I get the pineapples from the high ester smell first. The nose is fruity and also sour. A typical Hampden nose. After some time in the glas the apples are rising.
Around the fruits is also some solvent, some oak and grasy notes with fresh bananas.

The taste starts with pineapple and glue, then I get a bitter note from tannins. It's like a typical high ester Hampden. Then the taste turns very sour, acid is rising on the palet with some solvent.
In the middle the taste became more saturated, I get honey, again the acid with solvent, then papaya and apples.
The finish starts with spice and pineapple, I get hints of white oak and some grasy notes. Not much malt in the aftertaste, because the esters are more present.
The aftertaste is with pineapples, apples and malt. Thats tasty.

Overall a good high ester Hampden. I would prefer more malt in the taste and less acid. Therefore 87 points.

Funky hobo flavor for days, citrus fruit, grassy, very Unique

This is pure fruit and burnt rubber. Missing the rest of the complexity of hampden blends, but still pretty delicious. Wouldn't buy for the price though.

This HV absolutely fits for purpose from my point of view, Comparable with GH but stronger on the tongue, it makes me blowed up from my pants 😎

barva žlutonahnědlá
- vůně jemná, nádherná, spousta hutnějšího ovoce, koření
- chuť více nasládlá, voltáž 67% se hlásí, exotické ovoce, pepř
Strašná dobrota, pecka 👏👏

Tohle je skvělá záležitost. Hutná fanky zábava i těch 67 % v tom krásně hraje. Estery, lehce dřevo, banán, ovoce. Není těžký, je hodně šťavnatý. Rum dělaný pro mě, už hraničí s 10.
