Vieux Vaval Grand Terroir Baraderes 8 years 53.6% (1st Release)

Discover a rare treasure from sunny Hawaii with Vieux Vaval Grand Terroir Baraderes 8 years 53.6% (1st Release). An exclusive Clairin from the renowned Faubert Casimir Distillery located in the enchanting Baradères in southwestern Hawaii.

This one-of-a-kind Clairin is carefully crafted from a blend of red and white Hawaiian sugarcane hand-picked at perfect ripeness, providing a unique and authentic taste experience. After a careful pressing of the sugar cane, the distillation follows in traditional pot stills, which preserve the natural flavor notes and essences.

But it is in the aging process that this Clairin reveals its true character. After distillation, it rests in two casks, formerly home to single malt whiskey from the legendary Benriach distillery. This 8-year aging period gives this edition of Vieux Casimir a depth and complexity that is unique.

Vieux Vaval Grand Terroir Baraderes 8 years presents a seductive aroma that opens with a rich and inviting honey-like sweetness. Spiced with subtle notes of anise, ginger and cinnamon. Gradually, the fragrance develops with exotic nuances of pineapple and camphor, enriched with notes of lily, mimosa and medicinal elements that fascinate the senses.

At first sip, the rich flavor awakens your taste buds with a vanilla-like beginning that reveals hints of candied citrus fruits and warm sugar cane. The mid-palate is enriched with a pleasant vegetal nuance, complemented by an undertone of licorice bitterness. The finish is long and well-balanced with a peppery and salty note that leaves a refreshing sensation in the mouth.

This exclusive edition of Vieux Vaval presents a limited release of only 275 bottles for the world market, making it a sought-after collector's item among spirits enthusiasts.

Experience the rareness and enchantment of Vieux Vaval Grand Terroir Baraderes 8 years 53.6% (1st Release) and let yourself be seduced by Hawaii's authentic taste experience.

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 stands Luca Gargano, a true master. That 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.
