Habitation Velier RAINFOREST Philippines Pure Single Rum 2024 58% Vol. 0,7l in Giftbox
Habitation Velier RAINFOREST Philippines Pure Single Rum 2024 is an exceptional release from Habitation Velier that highlights the unique character of Philippine rum production. The rum was distilled in the Philippines in 2024 and produced entirely in pot stills, which is why it is classified as a Pure Single Rum. The distillate was then aged for 20 months in the tropical climate of the Philippines in selected ex-Chardonnay barrels. The intense tropical aging resulted in an Angel’s Share of over 10% during this comparatively short maturation period. In 2026, the rum was finally bottled at a robust 58% ABV in a 0.7-liter bottle, complete with gift packaging. The combination of 100% pot-still distillation, tropical aging, and ex-Chardonnay casks makes the Rainforest a particularly distinctive edition within the Habitation Velier portfolio. The influence of the former wine casks complements the original sugarcane character with pronounced fruitiness and a delicate woody structure. The Rainforest 2024/2026 is bottled at a high alcohol content of 58% ABV, without added colorants and without chill filtration. No sugar is added either. As a result, this Philippine pure single rum is aimed specifically at connoisseurs seeking authentic pot-still rums with a clearly traceable production process and unusual barrel aging.
