Velier Foursquare Absolutio 62% (2024)

Velier Foursquare Absolutio 62% (2024)

Foursquare Absolutio from Velier is an exclusive rum where only one bottle can be purchased per customer. The collaboration between Luca Gargano and Foursquare Distillery has resulted in some of the rum world's most sought-after bottles, and now the 9th bottling in the series is released: Absolutio. The rum is a mixture of two components, both 15 years old. The first part is aged for 15 years in bourbon casks, while the second part is aged for 10 years in bourbon casks and 5 years in port casks. Both parts are of course tropically aged, and the rum is bottled at barrel proof with an alcohol percentage of 62%.

Scent: Lively and complex aroma, with notes of tropical fruit (mango, banana), roasted nuts and coconut.
Tasting notes: Rich and full-bodied. Cedarwood, apricot, dark chocolate, cocoa and ginger. Long aftertaste.

Only 4,800 bottles have been produced worldwide, and of course there are far too few for Denmark.

About the Manufacturer

Velier is a name that sends waves of excitement through the rum world and evokes special emotions in dedicated rum geeks. Behind this iconic rum house is Luca Gargano, a true master who time and again manages to surprise and amaze with releases that set new standards for quality, transparency and passion for rum.

During the 2000s, Velier established himself as a pioneer in the rum world. By introducing an impressive range of uncompromising Demerara rums that were quickly recognized as cult rums. Now considered the pinnacle of rum collectors' wish lists, these bottles change hands for astronomical sums at spirit auctions around the world. Velier has continued to shape rum history by introducing tropically aged Caroni, a unique rum from a now closed distillery in Trinidad. It stands out with notes of smoke, tar and bacon. An “acquired taste,” which only true rum enthusiasts understand and love.

Luca Gargano, in partnership with Richard Seale of Foursquare, stands as a bastion of authenticity and quality. They are unwavering in their opposition to additives and tampering with age labels. The latest gem in Velier's portfolio, the Habitation Velier series, is a true testament to the firm's commitment to transparency. The label proudly reveals every detail about the production, from the part of the rum that evaporates during storage (angel's share) to the ester content. Which gives rum enthusiasts a deeper understanding and appreciation for the craftsmanship behind each bottle. Velier is not just a rum house: it is a movement that celebrates true rum art. And creates a lasting legacy within this beloved spirits world.
