Velier Hampden Estate 2011 Black Billed Streamertail LFCH Single Cask #286 TEBS Series 9yo is a rare gem from the renowned Hampden Distillery in Jamaica. This 9-year-old rum, distilled in 2011 and bottled in 2020, is part of the exclusive Trelawny Endemic Birds Series (TEBS). With an impressive 60.6% ABV and a limited release of just 260 bottles, this is a highly sought-after expression. The initial smoothness gives way to a slight astringency, with a notable glue-like finish that benefits from a droplet of water. The rum offers a rich and complex aroma of vanilla, banana, tropical fruit, and woody notes, balanced with orange peel. On the palate, it reveals alcoholic notes with flavors of green apple, raisin, prune, chocolate, and sourness. The finish is toasted with hints of almond, peanut butter, espresso, hazelnut, peppery spice, and chocolate.
This rum is unique due to its limited release of 260 bottles, its high ABV of 60.6%, and its place in the exclusive Trelawny Endemic Birds Series (TEBS).
Yes, you can drink this rum neat. However, adding a droplet of water can help tame the high alcohol content and enhance the flavors.
You can expect a complex flavor profile with notes of tropical fruit, spice, sweetness, and a dry, slightly bitter finish.
As a rum enthusiast, I find the Velier Hampden Estate 2011 Black Billed Streamertail LFCH Single Cask #286 TEBS Series 9yo to be an exceptional and rare find. Its complex flavor profile, coupled with the high ABV and limited release, makes it a must-try for any serious rum collector. The initial smoothness followed by astringency and the unique glue-like finish makes for a fascinating tasting experience, especially when enhanced with a few drops of water.
