Velier Foursquare 2003 Destino 70th Anniversary 14yo is an exceptional single blended rum crafted by the renowned Foursquare Distillery in Barbados. This limited-edition masterpiece, bottled by the indie bottler Velier, marks the 70th anniversary of Velier and celebrates the expertise of master distiller Richard Seale. Distilled in 2003 and bottled in 2017, only 600 bottles of this rare gem exist, each boasting a robust 61% ABV and a size of 700 ml. The Destino is a unique blend of pot and traditional Coffey column still rums. It underwent a meticulous aging process, with 12 years of tropical maturation in ex-Madeira barrels followed by an additional 2 years in barrels previously used for rum maturation. This careful aging process results in a rich, complex final product that stands out in the world of fine rums. On the nose, the Destino presents a focused and robust oak character with hints of stone fruits, vanilla, dark chocolate, and Manuka honey. The palate is a burst of juicy hedgerow berries, buttery base, and rich fruity jam with notes of coconut, dark chocolate, and smooth vanilla. The finish is long, rich, and satisfying, with an interplay of dark stewed fruits, oak, salted liquorice, molasses, and subtle floral undertones, leaving a lingering impression of complexity and depth. This rum is a true masterpiece, showcasing Foursquare's ability to produce exceptional spirits.
