The Velier Vieux Vaval & Casimir 2017 Grand Terroir Cavaillon & Baraderes is a unique rum expression crafted by the Arawaks distillery in Haiti. Distilled in 2017, this exceptional rum uses pure sugarcane juice from the Madame Meuze and Hawaii varieties, sourced from the regions of Cavaillon and Baraderes. Aged for four years in ex-Lustau Oloroso wine casks, the rum was meticulously blended in equal parts and bottled specifically for Whisky Live Paris 2021. This distinctive expression marries the Vieux Vaval and Vieux Casimir rums, both aged in Oloroso sherry casks. The resulting blend showcases the floral, fruity, and pulpy character of Vieux Vaval alongside the medicinal, empyreumatic, and spicy notes of Vieux Casimir. The aromatic and taste profile occasionally evokes the essence of an Islay single malt, offering a truly unique and complex rum experience. Bottled at an ABV of 50.1%, this rum is presented without reduction, additives, or cold filtration, ensuring an authentic and natural expression of the terroir of Cavaillon and Baraderes. The Oloroso sherry cask aging process adds remarkable depth and complexity, enhancing the natural flavors and aromas. Overall, the Velier Vieux Vaval & Casimir 2017 Grand Terroir Cavaillon & Baraderes is a must-try for rum enthusiasts and collectors. Its unique flavor profile, limited availability, and connection to the Whisky Live Paris event make it a highly sought-after and collectible rum.
