The story
The Veritas project was initiated by Luca Gargano (Velier) in collaboration with Richard Seale (Foursquare) and the "Guardians of Rum" community to bring the authentic taste of rum back into mixology. The blend is the result of cooperation between the two Caribbean distilleries, with blending and bottling carried out in Barbados and Jamaica under Richard Seale's supervision.
Production philosophy
A pursuit of transparency and authenticity: Veritas aims to offer a white rum without additions (no sugars, colorants or flavorings), intended to enhance cocktails with true, distinctive flavors while respecting the artisanal practices supported by members of the Guardians of Rum.
Territory
Barbados and Jamaica (production/distillation/maturation); project, distribution and international positioning linked to Velier (Italy).
Production method
Veritas is a blended rum composed of three fractions: a rum from a Coffey column still (Foursquare, unaged), a Foursquare pot-still aged 2 years and an unaged Hampden pot-still (double retort). The components are distilled, matured, blended and bottled in the Caribbean; the blend is bottled at a high strength (47% ABV) without the addition of sugars, neutral spirits or flavorings.
Distillation
Blend of Coffey column still (Foursquare) and pot still (Foursquare pot-still + Hampden double retort pot-still).
Ageing
Part of the blend (Foursquare pot-still component) was aged for about 2 years; the other fractions are unaged; blending and bottling carried out in the Caribbean.
