Velier Rhum Rhum 2007 70th Anniversary 10yo 57% 700ml is a special release created in collaboration with master distiller Gianni Capovilla, Luca Gargano of Velier, and the Marie Galante-based distillery Bielle. This unique Rhum Agricole, distilled in 2007 from sugar cane juice using a Pot Still, has been crafted using experimental techniques, including a seven to ten-day fermentation without water and double distillation in a copper pot still. Bottled in 2017 for Velier's 70th Anniversary, this 10-year-old rum boasts an impressive ABV of 57%. With only 400 bottles available, it has garnered attention for its heavy, spicy, and sour aroma, as well as a complex flavor profile featuring herbal, heavy, spicy, woody, and leather notes. The nose of Velier Rhum Rhum 2007 offers complex aromas of ripe prunes, dried fruits, and hints of black tea, reminiscent of an old-school rhum with a touch of eclectic intensity. The palate is dry and bitter, with pronounced notes of dark chocolate, dried fruits, and strong black tea flavors. As the tasting progresses, additional hints of bitter oranges and a light herbal essence contribute to the profile, leading to a long and bitter finish dominated by black tea notes. Despite its quality, the rum is limited in availability, making it a rare and sought-after gem for enthusiasts of unique aged pot still agricole. While some reviewers have noted a dominant bitterness and black tea note, many consider this rum as a reference for the Rhum Rhum Liberation series, recommending some additional aging in a milder climate to truly bring out its potential greatness.
