Habitation Velier Foursquare LFT Rum

At 62% ABV, this white rum shines when used sparingly in daiquiris or ti' punches where.

Nose: Opens with intense aromas of fresh-cut sugar cane and raw molasses, immediately signaling its dual fermentation heritage.

Palate: The 62% ABV hits with authority but doesn't overwhelm. Sweet cane juice leads, followed quickly by burnt caramel and dark toffee.

Finish: Long and progressively drying. Initial sweetness from honey and raw sugar fades into darker territory with unsweetened cocoa powder and espresso grounds.

This groundbreaking Barbados rum represents a world-first blend, marrying spirits distilled in Foursquare's double retort pot still from two distinct fermentation paths: one using molasses with cultured yeast over 72 hours, and another using fresh-pressed cane juice left to ferment naturally for several weeks with wild yeasts, creating an unprecedented complexity that showcases both controlled precision and spontaneous tropical magic in a single bottle.

• While the molasses base wraps up its yeast party in a tidy 72 hours, the fresh cane juice component takes several weeks to ferment naturally, relying solely on wild yeasts clinging to the raw sugar cane. It's like blending a sprinter and a marathon runner into the same bottle.
• Foursquare's double retort pot still is something of a unicorn in the rum world this archaic piece of equipment creates extra reflux and copper contact that strips away harsh congeners while preserving intense flavors, making it possible to bottle this beast at a eye-watering 62% ABV without it tasting like rocket fuel.
