Veritas White Blended Rum 47%

Veritas is Velier's answer to a question many bars keep asking: can a white rum stay true to style and still be easy to work with?

Expert description

Veritas White Blended Rum is a Blended Rum composed of three distillates and bottled at 47%.

The rum is a blend of coffey still distillate from Foursquare Distillery in Barbados, pot still distillate from the same distillery matured 2 years in ex-bourbon casks, and unaged pot still distillate from Hampden Estate in Jamaica. All three components are distilled, matured, blended and bottled in the Caribbean with no added sugar, flavouring or neutral spirit, making Veritas a white rum with real character rather than a neutral base spirit.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh with ice cream soda sweetness and a clean, grassy undertone, plus buttercream, banana cream, golden apples and dried pineapple.

Palate

Fresh and intensely fruity with whipped cream underneath, freshly sliced pineapple, overripe bananas and pears, combined with a hint of liquorice and spiced wood.

Finish

Clean and dry with a light funky finish from the Hampden component, balanced by Foursquare's softer character.

Did you know?

Veritas deliberately combines two entirely different Jamaican and Barbadian rum styles in one bottle, where Foursquare's softness tames Hampden's raw funk without the rum losing its identity, a balancing act Velier underlines with the name Veritas, Latin for "truth".
