Habitation Velier Last Ward 2007 is an intriguingly named rum in the popular series of Pure rums from Luca Gargano and co. Last Ward 2007 represents the Ward family. Who for over 100 years owned and ran the Mount Gay rum distillery in St Lucy, Barbados.
As with all Habitation Velier releases you get a lot of information on the bottle and the study card sleeve which houses the rum. Presented in the now distinctive flask style opaque bottles this rum from the Mount Gay Rum Refinery is given a baby blue colour scheme. Velier usually give individual distilleries/stills a colour scheme which they carry through for all releases. This was most commonly used in their old Demerara offerings.
Foursquare Rum Distillery Triptych. Another collaboration between Velier and Foursquare. Definitely not an independent bottling. Don’t let Richard hear you saying otherwise!
Kill Devil Barbados Aged 14 Years. Another Kill Devil rum from Hunter Laing and another Single Blended rum from the Foursquare Distillery, Barbados.
Foursquare Rum Distillery Criterion is the latest rum in their Exceptional Cask Selection. It seems that in the Foursquare world it never rains but it pours. Just last year we were spoilt with numbers 3 and 4 in the Exceptional Cask Selection and the “controversial” Foursquare 2006.
Blackadder Raw Cask Barbados Foursquare rum. Blackadder’s Raw Cask rum selection are a number of rums which are “raw” and straight from the cask. No colouring, no additives and no filtration, so they look a little cloudy and raw.
Habitation Velier Foursquare 2013. No what other pairing in the rum world could you possibly think of that would be a virtual guarantee of a quality rum experience?
Cane Island are a relative newcomer to the market. Last year they released a range of aged rums from Cuba, Barbados and Jamaica. These were blends of rums from two different distilleries from each location.
