Habitation Velier Rainforest 2024
Most enjoy the surprising depth, clean high ABV and olive/licorice twist; critics find it young, acidic and a bit thin. Consensus: interesting, well-made but still early-stage rum.
Curious explorers of high-ABV cane juice rums who enjoy slightly funky olive/licorice notes and want to follow a new Philippine pure single rum from its early releases.

How does this rum taste?
Promising, punchy young Philippine agricole-style
If you like young agricole-style rums or Habitation Velier experiments, this is worth a look: it offers character and potential, but you need to tolerate youth and some sharp edges.
Newcomers, those sensitive to 62% ABV, or drinkers expecting sweet, easy Philippine rums rather than a dry, young, slightly acidic cane-juice profile.

#5708 27.09.2025 Day one of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. A surprising well made rum from the Philippines. Nice fruits, spices and a light nutty touch along wood an caramel. There is a light licorice and faint coffee note in the profile as well as faint olives.
Un rhum dégusté au Whisky Live à Paris en 2025. Un premier nez pas très agréable de fermenté, de champignons de Paris. Puis la poire, la pêche et un boisé léger montent. La bouche est moyennement ample, fruitée mais avec une acidité marquée. La finale est assez courte, les fruits sont là, mais avec une acidité bien présente. Un rhum intéressant, bien que ayant quelques petits défauts.
