Velier Hampden Diamond <H> 2010 70th Anniversary 62% 700ml information

The Velier Hampden Diamond 2010 70th Anniversary 62% 700ml is a highly anticipated release, commemorating Velier's 70th anniversary. Distilled at the renowned Hampden Estate in Jamaica in 2010, this rum has undergone a tropical aging process for seven years before being bottled in 2017. Produced from molasses using a pot still, this limited-edition rum boasts a substantial ABV of 62% and a restricted production of just 1659 bottles, making it a sought-after gem for rum enthusiasts worldwide. This bottle carries the esteemed "" mark, indicating a high ester content of 900-1000 g/hlaa. Its deep gold color and high viscosity are visually captivating, hinting at the rich and complex profile within. The nose is an olfactory delight, showcasing a blend of ripe tropical fruits like pineapple, banana, and orange, along with characteristic ester notes, varnish, glue, marzipan, and hints of vanilla. The complexity continues on the palate, where the rich tropical fruitiness is balanced by flavors of marzipan, pistachio pastry, spices, citrus, and fermented nuances. The finish is exceptionally long and persistent, leaving a lasting impression of tropical fruits, esters, marzipan, vanilla, and subtle olive notes. Reviewers have praised the Velier Hampden 2010 for its depth, balance, and extraordinary complexity, often awarding it scores of 92/100 or higher. It's compared favorably to older, continentally aged Hampdens, with some suggesting it even surpasses them in certain aspects. This rum is a must-have for aficionados of high-ester Jamaican rums, offering a unique flavor profile shaped by its tropical aging and meticulous crafting by Velier.
