Habitation Velier Hampden PLDC PM Spirits Collab Rum

The Habitation Velier Hampden PM Spirits × Prestige-Ledroit collaboration is a one-off Jamaican pot‑still rum with true presence. Crafted from ten hand‑selected Hampden casks, it blends five LFCH barrels aged two years, four LROK barrels aged three years, and one <>H barrel aged five years. Bottled at full cask strength (60% ABV / 120 proof) with no additives, it offers uncompromising authenticity. Its fusion of high‑ester funk, tropical fruit, and earthy spice feels both bold and balanced. Designed for sipping neat or elevating cocktails, it’s vibrant, expressive, and downright captivating. This rum captures the spirit of Hampden’s terroir in every drop.

Nose:
The nose pops with grilled pineapple, fresh lime juice, and vanilla warmth. An undercurrent of earthy funk and allspice anchors the aromatics. A faint plastic‑bag sharpness peeks through, adding distinctive character.

Palate:
On the palate it’s thick and oil‑rich. Grilled pineapple and lime juice race alongside honeydew melon and passionfruit. Subtle vanilla sweetness and earthy notes round out the vibrant tropical intensity.

Finish:
The finish is long, warm, and evolving. Grilled pineapple and vanilla linger, followed by allspice, lime juice, honeydew, and passionfruit echoes. Earthy undertones persist, giving it depth and intrigue.

Try spicy jerk chicken or pork ribs to accentuate the rum’s herbal spice and tropical brightness.
Roasted pineapple with a squeeze of lime echoes the fruity and citrus tones in the rum.
Honeydew melon salad with a touch of chili brings out the passionfruit and honey notes.
Dark chocolate ganache or salted caramel desserts mirror its richness and funk.
