Habitation Velier Distillerie de Port au Prince 2021

59% ABV

Habitation Velier is one of the most eagerly anticipated limited release Rums year after year. This Rum is made from Haitian Cristalline sugar cane, which Velier co-founder Luca Gargano believes is the finest variety and provenance sugar cane on earth. The cane was grown in Saint Michel de l'Attalaye where it was pressed, fermented and distilled between 25%-30% ABV on a 380 liter wood fired Müller still. That single distillate is then brought to the Distillerie de Port au Prince where it was distilled a second time to 72% ABV on a 1500 liter Müller still with 4 trays in a column before being proofed down to 59%. 

This was distilled in 2021 and released shortly after that. This is a library release from Velier and is exceptionally rare.

Producer Notes:
HABITATION VELIER is the ultimate rum project: a range of co-bottlings created through exclusive partnerships with some of the best rum producers, located in the Caribbean and beyond. 

This range serves as a didactic research project into the depths of pot still distillation and to create awareness of stylistic differences between types of pot stills, distillery styles, regionality and specific production methods.
