Cuvée presentation

A La Bonne Intention demerara rum bearing the LBI mark, distilled in 1998 in a Savalle distillation column and bottled in 2007. Velier was founded in Genoa by Casimir Chaix in 1947. It was originally a small, family-run business specializing in the import and distribution of wine and spirits. Luca Gargano, a former representative for Saint James and serious rum collector and enthusiast, bought the business in 1986 and began bottling whisky first in 1992 and then rum in 1996. After his legendary bottlings of Demerara rum (Guyana) and Caroni (Trinidad), Gargano extended his exploration of Caribbean rum into other territories, including Barbados, Jamaica, Haiti and Marie-Galante. Rums selected by Velier are only ever aged in a tropical climate, which explains both their concentration and the high angels’ share. They are generally bottled at cask strength or just below. A limited edition of 274 bottles.

The distillery Demerara

Demerara rums are one-of-a-kind rums named after the Demerara River in Guyana. The region is known for supplying sugar and rum to many different countries, the British Crown in particular. Distilleries were built around a sugar mill with the aim of using molasses to create rum that was then given to slaves and members of the Royal Navy. In 1975, more than ten years after Guyana gained independence, all the country’s distilleries were closed and grouped together under a single entity, the Diamond Distillery. The latter continues to produce powerful, aromatic rums bearing the emblematic name of their former distillery. Most of the spirit produced is used to create blends, as the very old stills create rums marked by a heavy and complex character.
