Crafted at the renowned Foursquare Distillery in Barbados, founded by Richard Seale in 1996, Foursquare 2013 Habitation Velier 60% is a truly exceptional release that stands apart from the distillery's traditional production style. While Foursquare is best known for combining column still and pot still distillation, this expression is distilled entirely in a pot still, with no blending, showcasing the remarkable depth, texture, and complexity that this method can achieve.
Distilled in 2013 from molasses, this traditional rum has undergone full tropical ageing in oak casks, including 370-litre ex-Cognac barrels. Previously seasoned with Cognac, these casks impart elegant layers of dried fruit, spice, and refined oak, enhancing the naturally rich character of the spirit.
This bottling represents the culmination of a project first introduced several years earlier with a much younger expression, demonstrating the extraordinary potential of a 100% pot still Foursquare rum. After more than a decade of tropical maturation, it delivers an outstanding balance of power, richness, and elegance.
