Introducing the Velier Hampden Estate 2012 Yellow Shouldered Grossquit OWH Single Cask #487, a limited edition rum from the prestigious Trelawny Endemic Birds Series (TEBS). This exquisite rum was distilled in 2012 at the renowned Hampden Estate in Jamaica and aged for 8 years before being bottled in 2020. With only 250 bottles produced, each containing 700 ml of this rich, full-bodied spirit, it stands out with an impressive ABV of 60%. Velier, a brand synonymous with exceptional quality, has once again delivered a unique and intriguing rum that showcases the distinctiveness of Jamaican rums.
This rum is part of the Trelawny Endemic Birds Series, a collection known for its limited editions and unique flavor profiles. Distilled in 2012 and aged for 8 years, its complex and nuanced taste sets it apart.
The 60% ABV provides a warm and robust character to the rum, enhancing its aromatic and taste profiles. However, some find it could benefit from a bit more punch.
Fruity and vanilla notes are predominant, along with hints of caramel, wood, and a touch of bitterness.
The Velier Hampden Estate 2012 is a truly remarkable rum, although it presents a somewhat tamed interpretation of the traditional Hampden profile. It combines fruity and vanilla notes with a warm, alcoholic undertone that is both inviting and intricate. While it boasts an impressive complexity, some might feel it lacks the punch typically associated with Hampden rums. Nonetheless, its balanced blend of tropical fruit, caramel, and wood aromas makes it a delightful experience for any rum enthusiast.
