Habitation Velier Rainforest 2024
Opinions land all over the place on this one — some call it a pleasant surprise for the Philippines, others find it thin and rough once it hits the palate. The nose is the oddity everyone talks about: mushroom, earth, fermented notes, pear and peach over light wood. On the tongue it turns hot and spiky, with licorice, olive and dried fruit fighting a marked acidity. A young, work-in-progress cane-juice rum.
The community says- Unusual mushroom nose
- Licorice and olive
- But: Hot and spiky

Aggregated from 18 community reviews.
Odd, young cane-juice rum with a hot, sharp palate Most see potential rather than a finished rum — a curious first look at a new distillery, let down by a hot, sharp palate and thin follow-through. Interesting more than satisfying.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#5708 27.09.2025 Day one of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. A surprising well made rum from the Philippines. Nice fruits, spices and a light nutty touch along wood an caramel. There is a light licorice and faint coffee note in the profile as well as faint olives.
Review by cigares
Un rhum dégusté au Whisky Live à Paris en 2025. Un premier nez pas très agréable de fermenté, de champignons de Paris. Puis la poire, la pêche et un boisé léger montent. La bouche est moyennement ample, fruitée mais avec une acidité marquée. La finale est assez courte, les fruits sont là, mais avec une acidité bien présente. Un rhum intéressant, bien que ayant quelques petits défauts.

Messetasting Whisky Live Paris. Eindrücke und Bewertung basieren auf unmittelbaren Eindrücken aus dem Tastingglas. In der Nase ein extrem vielschichtiges Aromenbild, das am Gaumen leider an Ausdruckskraft verliert. Braucht noch etwas Zeit.
