Habitation Velier Forsyths WP 502 White

Sweet notes, leathery oily aroma. Earthy and vegetal of fresh mushrooms. Boiled cane, fresh guava juice and fruit of sweet pineapple.

Earthy vegetal with sweet basil, with lots of mineral and oiliness. Rich banana compote.

Nutty, dried plum with cardamom.

Very much on nose compare to the tasting. Finishing was interesting as it has a different characteristics compare to nosing.

Right away, it reminded me of Hampden Rum Fire: The aroma is of caramelized pineapple and berries, some leather and musk. The palate is voluptuous, though somewhat milder when compared to the nose - plump, fruity, dry, and ethereal. I like it, and would advise its use in a high-quality rum punch that utilizes tropical fruit juices.

Looking to change up the agricole affair, this came home with me one day. The opening is overwhelming, redolent of a moldy-banana rubber glue incendiary used to ignite old cane fields that have been bountiful to the distiller. It's a big field... And that nose is huge right off the bat. After one taste, I had to put it down and feel that fire patiently torch its path of enlightenment through my soul. It is like a super rhum agricole, and advertised as containing twice the normal congeners as that style, it really does something quite different here. A bit of fenugreek. There's the warm melted butter flavor, and even a bit of an aftertaste that resembles the salty air of a marina, something akin to boat fuel and the oil slick left behind of a wrecked banana tube towable... that was made of actual bananas.

Lots of esters, complex, difficult to describe, very special

N- Bushes of cane leaf showered with mineral-ed river springs, then baked under the scorching sun. Totally tropical with oozing earthiness but still appeared soft on the nose. Fragrant of hay, tropical indian toddy. (22/25)

P- Oily sweet and dusty straws, reeds with hint of sulphur, palm wine and buttery cocoa. (21/25)

F- Medium long. Semi dry, peppery, nutty with curious soya. (22/25)

Balanced- 22/25

Weighted Rate- 87pt

One of the best White rums i’ve ever had. Tons of funk

Imbuvable. Mon 1er blanc jamaïcain, bah du coup surement mon dernier si c'est la crème. A l'odeur on est sur un chantier en plein travaux, en bouche c'est plutôt neutre et un final sur du tipp-ex. A 1000 lieux du floral des meilleurs blanc antillais. A voir en cocktail mais pur, sacrilège !, j'ai jeté la fin de mon verre.

Meget speciel rom. Hvid rom som skal smages........

Le meilleur blanc que j'ai bu à ce jour. Hâte de tester les autres velier. Ici c'est mon 1er. Le nez est présent et promet de grandes choses. Que l'on retrouve en bouche.

3 months of maturation, heavy esters (502mg/L) powerful and aromatic. The LMWD says it best. This is Jamaican Rum as it should be. This has every piece of personality you would combine with a Jamaican rum. It works great in cocktails, and is a very good sipping rum, if you are a tried and tested rum-drinker.

Great old-style Jamaican rum. 3 months of fermentation. Unique taste n tones!

Version plus légère que le 151 (ici 57% contre 75% pour le 151)
L’odeur est assez similaire au 151 avec une prédominance de la banane, ananas et canne fraiche.
Comme pour le 151 la bouche est fraiche, remplie d’épices qui colleront à la langue, et avec toujours la canne fraiche en fond. Des aromes qui s’installeront pour un looong final.
Ce rhum est vraiment bon, je pense le préférer à la version 151.
