Habitation Velier is an exceptional project born from the passion and unique vision of Luca Gargano, globally recognized as one of the greatest rum specialists. Coming from a distinguished Italian family renowned for the excellence of its products, Luca Gargano continues a family tradition of gourmet explorers, prioritizing quality distribution over profit.

The Foursquare distillery, founded in 1996 by the Seale family, is located in the Southeast of Barbados, in the heart of the Caribbean. Although one of the youngest facilities in the region, its technological modernity makes it one of the most advanced and respected distilleries in the rum world. It carries out its distillations using a double column with 40 plates or an exceptional double retort pot still with a small additional column. A distinctive feature of Foursquare is the blending of distillates from the column and pot still directly in barrels, a rare artisanal method that guarantees unmatched aromatic complexity. This distillery embodies the vision of a purist, Richard Seale, who rejects any addition to the raw material, thus ensuring rums of remarkable and authentic quality.
From the 2003 harvest, this cuvée named "Destino" was carefully selected by Richard Seale, the master blender of Foursquare. It benefits from exceptional aging in double maturation: first 12 years in Madeira casks to develop richness and depth, followed by 2 years of finishing in bourbon barrels, now offering a dense, complex, and balanced aromatic palette. A true sensory masterpiece that will delight enthusiasts and connoisseurs.
Purchase limited to one bottle maximum per customer.
