The Velier R.A.S.C. Royal Army Service Corps 1954 Jamaica Rotation 1st Release 70th Velier Anniversary is a unique and historic rum blend created by Luca Gargano and Giuseppe Begnoni to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Velier in 2017. This blend consists of Jamaican rums from 9 flagons bottled in 1954, originating from the Royal Army Service Corps (RASC). Only 58 bottles were produced at 53% ABV, showcasing a dark mahogany color.
The aroma of this special rum includes intense notes of molasses, almost burnt caramel, cigar box, leather, and prune. On the palate, it offers a rich and sticky mouthfeel with flavors of licorice, wet wood, overripe red fruits, tonka bean, and tobacco. The finish is long and satisfying, making it a truly remarkable and well-crafted spirit.
One reviewer described the experience of tasting this rum as a surprise, as it deviated from the typical Jamaican rum profile with its lack of esters and a unique aromatic complexity reminiscent of Demerara rums. Overall, the Velier R.A.S.C. Royal Army Service Corps 1954 Jamaica Rotation 1st Release 70th Velier Anniversary is a magnificently blended rum steeped in history, earning a top rating of five stars for its exceptional quality and craftsmanship.
