The Velier Foursquare 2006 Sassafras is a remarkable 14-year-old rum, born from a collaboration between Luca Gargano of Velier and Richard Seale of the acclaimed Foursquare distillery in Barbados. This single blended rum combines distillates from both column and pot stills, creating a harmonious and full-bodied spirit.
The aging process includes an initial maturation of 3 years in ex-Bourbon barrels, followed by an additional 11 years in ex-Cognac casks, resulting in a limited release of 6000 bottles. The extended double maturation lends this rum a rich and complex flavor profile, with notes of vanilla, caramel, coconut, and dark chocolate, complemented by dried fruit, woody aromas, and hints of molasses.
On the palate, the Sassafras rum delights with a balanced interplay of sweetness and spices, revealing layers of caramel, vanilla, and coconut, culminating in a peppery finish. The 61% ABV enhances the robust and intense flavors, making it a memorable experience for rum aficionados.
This exceptional rum showcases the expertise of the Seale family, who have been master rum makers for generations, and the commitment to quality and innovation that has made Foursquare a leading force in the rum industry.
