Habitation Velier 2010 Hampden LROK 6-Year

Like its bigger brother, the HLCF, it first shows hints of superglue, paint and varnish. Let it breathe for a few minutes! You will discover pears and and other dried fruits, reminding you for a moment of southern Germany fruit brandies. Once the smoky oak arrives at the roof of your mouth, you'll be reminded that you're having a Jamaican Rum. I tried it in Mai Tai, but be carefull what other rum you use for it might very easi dominate it. The LROK asks for a equivalent Partner. If you like to sip it pure, take your time. A great and rare rum to enjoy!

Prinzipiell kein schlechter Rum. Voll und kräftig, aber ich scheine nicht so sehr auf jamacanische Rums zu stehen. Irgendein Aroma hatten bisher alle, dass mir nicht gefällt. Es ist also eine sehr subjektive Beurteilung.

Another HabVelier experiment with a high ester count. It doesn't seems to have much of oak/barrel flavours. I suspect they're mostly swamped by all the other flavours. Probably what I expected for a 6 year old.
On first pour I left the norlan on a nearby shelf. Shortly afterwards I detected this glorious nail varnish/pear drop waft. Hints of pineapple and citrus nearer to. First sip and there's lots I find familiar but hard to name - overripe pineapple and other fruits, some waxy petroleum hints in the mouth 15 minutes later.
It is 67% but I dont feel the need to add anything.
More drinkable than the HLCF, but again I haven't returned to it for months.

Dans la continuité du HLCF et du LROK/HLCF, on retrouve le même nez et les mêmes saveurs en bouche mais en moins « explosif ».
C’est EXCELLENT.

Wauw, der er godt med power på smagen her. Blød/sød duft

Lækker rom. Helt klart endnu et godt produkt af Habitation Velier serien.
