The Habitation Velier Foursquare White Barbados is a unique product from the renowned Foursquare distillery, classified as a Pure Single Rum by Luca Gargano and Richard Seale. Bottled in 2015, this exceptional rum is limited to just 444 bottles, making it a rare and sought-after gem for rum aficionados. This rum is distilled using local molasses in a single pot still, a distinctive method for Foursquare, which usually blends pot still and column distillates. While it is not aged in oak barrels, it spends four months in ex-cognac casks, adding a subtle complexity and richness to its character.
On the nose, the rum is round and enveloping, with a creamy vanilla attack and delicate floral notes that transition to white-washed fruit and nutty almond flavors. The palate is relatively light, featuring gourmet vanilla notes wrapped in floral vapors. Pronounced flavors of sugar cane, citrus, earth, and exotic fruits also come to the fore. Despite its youthful nature, the Habitation Velier Foursquare White Barbados is a testament to the distillation and aging expertise of Foursquare. This rum offers a complex and multifaceted experience, blending tropical fruit, spices, and sweetness with a touch of grassy character. It is an essential try for anyone interested in premium rum.

Overall: Habitation Velier Foursquare White Barbados 59% offers a complex and multifaceted rum experience, blending tropical fruit, spice, and sweet notes with a touch of grassy character.
Despite its light yellow color, which is almost clear, this rum commands attention with its soft nose and complex flavor profile. The bittersweet taste evokes memories of white agricole rum from Martinique mixed with sugar syrup, complemented by a touch of nuttiness and an almond or coconut-like mouthfeel. The rum's medium to long finish with spices leaves a lasting impression. Reviewers have noted its similarity to clairin and other home-brewed spirits, yet it maintains a distinct and refined character that sets it apart. The four months in cognac casks are surprisingly evident, adding depth to this already impressive rum. Overall, this is an amazingly good white rum that draws beautiful curtains in the glass and remains a must-try for rum enthusiasts.
