Celebrating the 70th anniversary of the renowned Italian bottler Velier, this special edition rum hails from Saint Lucia Distillers. Distilled in 2010 using the John Dore 2 pot still, this exquisite rum was carefully selected by the global rum ambassador, Ian Burrell, and bottled in 2017 at a robust 58.6% ABV. The 700ml bottle features a unique label designed by Singaporean artist Warren Khong, adding an artistic touch to its remarkable content.
This luxurious 7-year-old rum presents a rich chestnut/oloroso sherry color, inviting you to explore a symphony of aromas and flavors. The nose reveals notes of tropical fruits such as pineapple, papaya, and mango, intertwined with hints of varnish, glue, and subtle mint and smoke. On the palate, you’ll discover a complex blend of sweet, spicy, and minty flavors, featuring cappuccino, honey, tea, and a medley of fruits. The finish is long, lingering with a harmonious combination of minerality, leather, oak, musty notes, and a blend of spice and mint, creating a multifaceted flavor profile that is both balanced and intricate.
