Velier Albion AN 1983
Sip this neat and slow — it's an old Demerara built for the glass, not for mixing. Heavy cream toffee, vanilla and coconut up front, with salt, roasted nuts and oak underneath. One taster nailed it as a "liquid cream toffee." The recurring catch: at 46.4% a few find it a touch thin, wishing for more proof and density.
- Deep toffee aroma
- Elegant balance
- Long finish

How does Velier Albion AN 1983 taste?
Aggregated from 18 community reviews.
Old Demerara, toffee-rich but slightly thin Loved for its aromatic depth and elegant, sweet-toffee balance despite the modest strength. The common gripe is the body — several call it a little thin or flat on the palate.

Review by Rum with the Flo
Un des rhums qui m’a procuré le plus d’émotion au milieux du line up des tous les Albions Full proof de Velier . Preuve que certains « bas degrés » transcendent les papilles lorsque l’équilibre est parfait .
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Another of the nice rums in the tasting today. This is a great rum, maybe the proof should have been a tiny tad higher but all in all nice. A very expensive drop, which is very hard to get your hands on, but we'll worth every penny.
Review by Rum Freund
Würde mit höherer Abv sicher noch besser kommen, auch nach mehrmaligem Verkosten ein toller Tropfen😊
Review by Johannes
Leider etwas dünn, was sich auch im Geschmack bemerkbar macht.
Review by Jakob
A liquid cream candy - on the nose extremely dominant caramel, vanilla and cream notes. On the palate, spicier hints are added, but unfortunately the dilution is also noticeable and takes the rum a little density. Nevertheless, an extremely drinkable and pleasing drop.
Review by Oliver
Very horny bourbon nose. But too flat on the palate.
