100% Pot still
Distilled 2013
Bottled 2015
Aged 2 years in cognac casks
Sugar free
Unchillfiltered
Uncoloured
Barrel proof 64%abv

Nose: Quite cocnagey, grapes, vanilla, caramel, black pepper, damp oak, interesting savoury notes and glue

Palate: First thing that hits you is the hefty alcohol bite and glue that is wrapped in hot black pepper and caramel with cocnag notes, with water diluted to about 35%abv you get lot more nutty and spice flavors, wallnuts pecan, cinnamon allspice, clove, also oak vanillins and some savoury notes again.
This is surprisingly oaky rum, you get a strong amount of oak to balance the flavours, i guess they used really high quality casks when making this rum to get such a strong oak profile with only 2 years.
Finish: Oaky, nutty dryness with some almost tannic aromas on back palate. Flavours linger pleasantly for quite a long time, with mouth watering oaky dryness.
This is a beast of a rum, this rum hasnt been fermentated in a super estery way so it doesnt have a big ester profile but it is still interesting in its own merits, super punchy and packed with natural flavour and mouth watering oakiness.

64% ABV. Aged for 2 years in the tropics. A rare 100 pot-still from FS.

Very hot, very dry, and very nutty. Almond butter? Kinda bitter. Herbal, like Chartreuse? Not at all what I was expecting for a 2yo rum. Very impressive. Medium-short finish.

I'd LOVE to try this in a Mai Tai if it weren't so dear 😬 But mostly this is a good one to sip on and concentrate as you tease out the flavors of a rare young bottling that has so much to say.

Is heavy, corpolent, very complex, long aftertaste, great flavour, on the palate, it's hot on spices....one of the best rum I've ever tasted!

Ongelooflijk smaakvolle rum die maar 2 is gerijpt op ex-cognac vaten. Gewoon puur te drinken ondanks hoge alcohol percentage.

Sur le papier on est sur du sans fautes : Foursquare & Luca Gargano, c'est comme un crossover de Star Wars et Star Trek mais au final on a quelque chose d'à la fois trop fort et à la fois trop léger. N'y allons pas par quatre chemin : je n'ai pas aimé et je m'en vais regarder un western spaghetti, un peu vieillot mais une valeur sure.

Light bronze color. The nose gives notes of exotic fruit with pineapple. There is also coconut, butter, vegetal notes and woody, cigar box. On the palate, it's very hot on spices. Pepper, nutmeg. The final is short on wood, leather, tobacco. Very nice rum.

Lækker rom. Helt klart endnu et godt produkt af Habitation Velier serien.

This Young beast got two years in the ex-cognac cask. It would have been interesting to taste a unaged Foursquare. Both the unaged jamaicans, the Marie-Galante and the Port-morant in this serie kick some ass. I don’t assume the two years has done any/enough good to this rum, and i do not know If white Barbados has anything to offer. But both Seale and Velier have shown that a Foursquare can be transferred into some fantastic rums. This one lacks some depth, like it’s unfinished, missing the marriage with the added notes from the cask.

Velier has another fine bottling here. Rum ester on the nose. Not as hot as I expected for the ABV. Naturally sweet - no sugar added. Rum flavor at the start, a really short mids (hard to pull in, an "umami" thing perhaps?), and then a "roasted" anise flavor on the finish, which had some length. I say "roasted" anise, as it's not as sharp as a typical anise flavor, this is more mellow and mature.

Toujours en full proof.
Encore une réalisation de R SEALE sélectionné par L GARGANO.
Une réussite
