Velier Foursquare Principia
Aromas of coconut, vanilla, and sherry introduce a chocolatey, woody, peppery flavor profile with dry oak and caramel. RumX tasters applaud its complexity and intensity, with sherry leading the charge; a powerfully flavorful option for lovers of bold Barbadian rum.
Sherry-driven, chocolatey and oaky, with strong coconut undertones.

How does this rum taste?
- Rich sherry and chocolate notes
- Intensely complex and aromatic
- Long, spicy finish
Lush sherry, coconut, and vanilla are the first impression from Foursquare Principia, amplified by dark chocolate and potent oak on the palate. This limited Velier bottling stands out for its cask strength intensity, deep mature wood, and vibrant complexity—though some find the alcohol prominent. Worth a sip for fans of robust, whisky-cask-finished rums seeking layered dessert and spice notes.

"Holy moly the claps neatly! But very horny and intense. Strong mocha, vanilla bean, raisin, discreet sherry and rum raisins, dark chocolate with fleur de sel and espresso beans and then again coconut and banana chips. Only the alcohol could be better integrated. Aromatically, however, it is really fun!"
"Velier FS (+ a fee spected other contenders) blind cross tasting: Honestly, the results here were very close. The Belier bottlings display a very high quality thourgout the range. Triptych and Pleni came out on top for me closely followed by Destino. I was somewhat surprised, that Sassafras and 2006 came out rather at the bottom, while I enjoyed both very much on their own. Raconteur also quite low in the ranking with Principia clearly at the bottom."
"One of my favorite daily sippers."
"The Swell and the Barbados 2006 Flag Series have been added to the big crosstasting of the Velier bottlings. Unfortunately, it has not yet been possible to get a sample of the 70th. In general, it can be said that there were no major differences on the nose when flying blind. However, there are recognizable differences in the taste itself. In my opinion, however, three clearly stand out and bring up the rear."
