The Habitation Velier 2017 Privateer New England 3yo has received mixed reviews from enthusiasts. Many appreciate the broad flavor palette for its age, noting the impressive toffee, vanilla, and caramel notes. However, some feel the rum's youth results in a fleeting aroma and a profile that is somewhat dominated by bourbon-like characteristics. It exhibits a blend of characteristics reminiscent of both American and Barbadian rums, with some reviewers enjoying its complexity and others finding it a bit too woody or resinous. Despite its youthful vigor, it is generally considered a good example of American rum, although some feel the price point is slightly high for its age.
