Why it’s different

The Rainforest Distillery in the Philippines was founded in 2015 by Master Distiller Marc Schulze, producer of Kasa Kaña Rum Agrikultura. This Habitation Velier is produced using the Filipino sugarcane variety Manpu. Fermentation lasts between 9 and 11 days, incorporating young muck matured in the tropical biome of Bukidnon. Matured for 20 months in ex-Chardonnay casks, it has an Angels’ share of >10%.

Focus

A world premiere brimming with character and expressiveness. Like all Habitation Velier rums, these latest two are the result of a collaboration between Luca Gargano and the finest distillers who use pot stills, and who therefore produce Pure Single Rum – the category that embodies the very best in rum. Every Habitation Velier expression represents an original project, with unique characteristics: a world premiere for each distillery. Still relatively unknown, white Pure Single Rums are the purest expression of sugar cane or its derivatives (molasses). Vintage rums are aged entirely in a tropical climate, with an ‘angel’s share’ exceeding 8 per cent per annum, thus allowing for natural and accelerated maturation compared to European ageing, albeit at the expense of the quantity produced. They are bottled at barrel strength, without cold filtration, and without the addition of caramel or any other substance not derived from the distillation process.
