Velier Foursquare Raconteur Cask Strength Barbados Rum (700ml)
From a total of 4800 bottles produced - 1440 of which were allocated to Italy - 'Raconteur' is Foursquare’s longest-aged rum from Velier to date. The name of the new release is a tribute to two great rum raconteurs: Luca Gargano (the man behind Velier) and the late Stephen Remsberg, a great collector who passed away in December 2022. It's a Single Blended Rum assembled from a blend of rum from copper double retort pot stills and traditional twin column coffey stills. The result are two single and double-matured rums, the first was aged for 17 years in ex-bourbon barrels, while the second was initially aged for 5 years in ex-bourbon barrels, then for a further 12 years in an ex-Oloroso sherry barrel. Bottled in 2023, allocations are tiny. Act sooner than later if you are keen on continuing your collection. 61% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... Rich and chewy with lots of extremely dark flavours. Oak and burnt sugar come through on the palate with some spiced pineapple. Well-integrated alcohol. Deep and brooding, and a sweet and lingering finish. Complex and assertive. 95 points - International Wine & Spirits Competition 2023
