Pure Cane Juice Rum, Grenada

This is the first time Habitation Velier has bottled a white rum from the Renegade distillery in Grenada. Since its creation in 2020, Habitation Velier has focused on terroir. Each cuvée is made from a single variety of sugarcane, grown on a specific plot of land. These rums highlight a unique terroir and benefit from a single type of distillation. Situated on a flood plain between two small rivers, the area benefits from sedimentary soil and a high water table, producing lush cane. This version is made from the Cain sugarcane variety grown in Old Bacolet, a farm located on the south coast of Grenada, making it one of the most windswept farms in the country. Bottled at 55%, this edition has a congenic content of 328.1 gr/hLAP. A world first !

Nose: Expressive and luminous. Marked by dazzling plant freshness, it reveals a juicy, crisp cane, underscored by notes of green mango and dry hay. On aeration, a touch of acidity and floral notes prolong this invigorating opening.

Palate: Herbaceous and taut, it evokes green apple skin, a hint of tarragon and a dash of white pepper. The texture is lively and well-balanced, offering coherence between the aromas perceived on the nose and on the palate.

Overall: Long and singular. Saline, almost mineral, it lingers on spicy accents of fresh cardamom and grated combawa, providing a persistent and original sensation of freshness.
