Habitation Velier Foursquare LFT White 2021
"Not the typical Foursquare profile," as one member puts it — and that's the whole point. This unaged, long-fermentation pot-still white throws glue, olive, lime and green vegetal notes at you, with a floral, almost Clairin-like edge. Despite the "High Ester" name, most tasters find the funk surprisingly restrained. Interesting and different, though several note it's a bit linear and could use time in a cask.
The community says- Genuinely atypical
- Floral citrus notes
- But: Spirity heat

How does Habitation Velier Foursquare LFT White 2021 taste?
Aggregated from 95 community reviews.
Atypical unaged Barbados white, glue and olive People find this a genuinely atypical Foursquare — glue, olive and citrus over a floral base. Divisive: some love the complexity, others find it thin, hot, and less estery than the name promises.
Curious drinkers who want an unusual, high-proof white with vegetal, glue-forward character
Anyone expecting classic sweet Foursquare, or a smooth easy sipper

Overall a very interesting rum from Foursquare which is partly reminiscent of white Jamaica rum and Rivers Antoine. My good friend Björn “Romsoffan” offered me a glass of this somehow different Foursquare at Foursquare Appreciation Day, released by Habitation Velier. It’s what Richard Seale call, a Long Fermentation Type (LFT). It’s a Pot Still from both molasses and cane juice with Esters 555 gr/hlpa, which is the same level as HLCF from Jamaica.

Ich stehen ja auf Foursquare, aber der weiße FS holt mich mal so gar nicht ab. Weder an der Nase noch am Gaumen weiß er zu überzeugen, im Gegenteil. Viel Pflanzliches an der Nase mit Klebstoff und floralen Noten, leicht nussig und modrig. Nicht wirklich meins. Am Gaumen stechend, floral, grün, modrig, medizinisch. Fällt mir schwer das Glas auszutrinken....
Review by Mirco
My first thought was that this shouldn't be bottled. I think if Velier wasn't behind it, the cut here would be worse. Ester and Foursquare is really exciting. But not my cup of tea. If something like this was still stored with barrel ageing at Foursquare, I'd be thrilled. The ageing could take the beastliness out of the distillate.
Review by Johannes
Ich weiß zwar nicht, was an dem Rum high Ester sein soll, aber insgesamt gefällt er mir sehr gut. Schön ausbalancierter weißer Rum, der am Anfang fruchtig, dann leicht adstringierend ist.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a retasting and I stick to my initial score 😊 ----- Velier really knows how to pick them. A well balanced white with fruit and light spices and a lovely floral note. Well rounded and dry on the palate and there is a very light minty note in the profile. The empty glass is really nice.
Review by Giorgio Garotti
Piacevolissimo rum bianco dove anche in questo caso Foursquare riesce a tenere un equilibrio ottimo! Detto questo per me manca un po’ di intensità e di ricchezza di sapori che ricerco sicuramente quando assaggio un white rum!
Review by Leo Krüper
Very interesting white rum. Could also be a very good round Worthy Park. I hardly notice the high esters. The long fermentation makes me think more of Clairin. A mild, round, drinkable white rum for the %. I just don't see any possible use for this rum. Too expensive and unspectacular to drink straight. It lacks something special for mixing (and is far too expensive).
Review by cigares
Day 6 RumX Rarities. An explosion of flavors on the nose: fruit, artichoke, wood wax, banana cake. The palate is fairly smooth, even if you can feel the watts. Dark vegetal aromas and very bitter chocolate beans. But also a clear floral edge. The finish is fairly short, but there's still a soft, almost sweet edge. The empty glass resembles this rum, with great complexity but little depth. For my taste, the aging is lacking.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A very atypical white Foursquare, whose name "High Ester" unfortunately does not represent much. On the nose, there are many floral and vegetal notes, including olive, iodine, citrus and apple. On the palate, medicinal notes are added to the floral and vegetal notes, as well as to the citrus already present. The aromas are rather timid and dissipate quickly in the mouth, while the rum itself is a bit unbalanced and lacks aromatic tones. The finish is of very average length, pushed by very light menthol and eucalyptus notes and some fruits. A rather linear and a bit flat rum, but which should be interesting in mixology.
Review by Timo Groeger
Shopbesuch Rhum Attitude Brüssel Mai 2025. Als Sample mitgenommen. Der einzige unaged Rum den ich gekauft habe. Ganz nach oben schafft er es auch nicht in der Auswahl. Zuckerrohr und Zitrusfrüchte sind ok, ansonsten aber zuviel Klebstoff und zu medizinisch.
Review by zabo
An unaged one that I really like, I wouldn't have thought so. I'll try it again as a mixer.
Review by Thunderbird
Surprisingly gentle on the nose with a floral, fruity note. A little glue is perceptible. But high ester? Rather no. The palate is dominated by herbal aromas and some citrus fruits. The finish also lingers with herbal aromas. This is a different kind of Foursquare, good but not outstanding
Review by Jarek
Nachverkostung im Rahmen der RumX Rarities Experience… Ich finde das Experiment von Foursquare immer noch interessant und lecker. Diesmal fand ich die Klebstoffnote viel deutlicher.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Rarely experienced such an incomprehensible confusion when tasting. Nose first full broadside artificial vanilla aroma of Dr. Oetker, taste then iodine, herbs, medicine, olive, very Vegetabil. Unfortunately, even in the daiquiri not my case. I would never guess foursquare! Will probably lie in the long fermentation😄
Review by Galli33
Interesting stuff 😮💨 Unaged Foursquare — definitely more on the atypical side 😜 It actually reminds me more of a Jamaican rum. You only get that lovely FS coconut note in the finish. A nice rum that will clearly be a hit in a blind tasting.
Review by TheJackDrop
Not that long but very interesting tasting ! A little harsh at start but developing nice fruit aromas and menthol finish ! En resume, mes notes de degutation : Au nez : Olive, Canne à sucre, Colle, Herbe, Zeste de citron, Abricot En bouche : Agrumes, Citron vert, Fruits tropicaux, Fruits jaunes La finale plutot orientee vers : Mentholé, Canne à sucre, Zeste de citron
Review by Fuwi
Ui. Also ich hab mich drauf gefreut, aber selbst meine Frau konnte meinem Gesicht das Ergebnis ablesen. Den Alkohol finde ich überhaupt nicht gut eingebunden, sehr scharf und sprittig, da habe ich schon weitaus bessere Newmakes im Glas gehabt. Mit viel Wasser ging's einigermaßen, da wirkt er cremig am Gaumen aber die für mich persönlich unangenehme Schärfe des Alkohol dämpft sämtliche aufkommenden floralen und mineralischen Noten. Schade eigentlich. Ich machs wie Zabo und kippe Coke drüber und gönne ihm ne Limette.

Read full review →Alongside a hard hitting whack of floor polish, petrol and varnish. It's pretty fantastic. Ti Punch it works excellently as well giving a really sharp yet sweet hit to the drink. A Daiquiri is a bit mental as well. As a sipper I'd probably look elsewhere but as a mixer...
