Habitation Velier Foursquare Barbados 2013

Made for people who already know Foursquare and want to see it at full pot-still strength. One taster who's had plenty called it the best Habitation Foursquare he'd tried, and reckoned he wouldn't have guessed it blind. Overripe banana, green apple and light varnish on the nose; the palate turns dry and spiced — nutmeg, burnt caramel, dried plums, bitter oak and roasted nuts. At 62% it's young and fiery, not the polished Foursquare people expect.

#7151 12.08.2026 Relaxing after a hard walk/training on the way home from work today. Listening to some nice tracks by Anyma, Charlotte de Witte, Lisa Gerrard and Akushiya on Spotify. Pretty nice Foursquare and the pirce at release was pretty OK in my mind. Well rounded profilw with fruits, glue, spice, chocolate, caramel, natural sweetnes, olive and roasted wood.

Tasting together with F. Kraemmer. 1st. D. 24.07.2026 2nd. D 04/09 Nose on an adventure👃: I sense a complex aroma with tropical fruits. There are light notes of green apples, citrus, pineapple, cider, and baked banana. Coffee, leather & licorice are also perceived. Tongue on an adventure 🥃: I taste fruit acids, citrus, burnt sugar, a bit of vanilla, and there is something roasted and spicy that I find hard to place! The spicy part reminds me a bit of horseradish. The tail of the story💫: Short to medium finish. Astringent, but delicious taste of caramel and dark chocolate!

There are almost no pure Pot Still Foursquares. This one is one of them! So really something special! The nose I find extremely good, mild, complex, tropical notes, blind I would definitely have guessed Guyana. On the palate already very good, but for me slightly too sour. I probably would have liked it better with a few percent less. And of course, a few more years of tropical aging would be a dream...

You don't come across a product of this caliber every day, and then a Foursquare... 60% 13 years old. Wow! Gargano and Seale... 🔥

#1802 10-07-2026 - Rate - 8.4 This is the best Habitation Foursquare I have tasted. It’s not a regular Foursquare. If I had tasted this one blind, I would not have guessed it. I really like this Foursquare profile.

So I was really looking forward to this rum because I really like Velier and FS rums. Definitely, the first tasting was a big surprise for me and I was quite unsure about this rum. Young, strong, spirited, not very oaky or smooth.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate

It's just a rather expensive way to make a cocktail. I've really enjoyed this and I hope that these type of rums continue to be released. I feel this has been slightly overlooked after all the hype over the 2006. I would urge you to find a bottle as there...
