Habitation Velier Hampden LFCH 2011 7yr 60,5%

"Third tasting and still really good, actually a bit better than last tasting. I like the rubber notes at the end. ————— Fourth tasting and bumping it again, really really good."

"Nice Hampden. Nice toasty aromas. More ester than the hampden estate overproof and also drier in the finish."

"A very good hampden easy to access and very round. A small delicacy"

"On the nose a lot of pineapple and fermented banana flows in, the alcohol is also very noticeable In the mouth is first a sweetness and then the tingle of alcohol ! Then a slightly peppery note and young wood. It is slightly astringent ! Gradually develops a light banana flavor and some vanilla! Delicious!In the finish remains the spicy, paired with banana and vanilla."

"Not an ester bomb, but well tuned. Can be drunk very pleasantly for over 60% alc. Compared to the LROK without a long wait round and for me the price-performance winner."

"Great fruits that are wonderfully supported and rounded off by the subtle ester content. Vanilla, banana, plum... Very fresh, soft and round. Easy sipper."

"LFCH = around 200 ester --> light Rich nose, discreet solvent, fine woody, ripe fruits, brioche, raisins = refined Jamaican nose due to the low ester content, not too abrupt and marked as in the C<>HMouth a bit more disappointing, a bit acidic, less richLong and greedy finish"

"Solid tropical LFCH and a good daily sipper! Uncomplicated, not overwhelming but not boring at all. Is very much Hampden in it and for daily use very well suited ;-)"

"Clearly less 'dramatic' than other Hampdens and therefore felt 'light-footed'. A Jamaican, which you can also just drink without fading everything else, but which is still no less exciting. The unexpected very natural raspberry note also knows how to please. Top!"
