Distilled entirely in pot stills in 2024, the spirit qualifies as a true Pure Single Rum, meaning the character in the glass comes purely from the distillate itself, with nothing added to shape or soften it along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaturation took place locally in the Philippines' tropical climate, where the casks used were carefully selected ex-Chardonnay barrels. Just 20 months in these warm conditions proved intense enough to drive an angel's share of more than 10%, a striking rate of evaporation that speaks to how aggressively the tropics interact with the liquid and the wood. The former white wine casks are said to have layered fruit-forward and subtly woody notes onto the rum's natural cane sugar backbone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBottled in 2026 at a robust 58% ABV, this release skips colouring, chill filtration, and any added sugar, staying true to Habitation Velier's philosophy of transparent, unmanipulated bottling. The result is a rum built for drinkers who want to taste the raw imprint of pot-still distillation and an unusual cask choice, rather than a smoothed-over, standardized profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplied in a 0.7-litre bottle with its own gift packaging, the Rainforest 2024\/2026 is best suited to collectors and rum enthusiasts already familiar with Habitation Velier's single-origin, single-cask-style releases, and curious to explore what Philippine rum production brings to the category.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Habitation Velier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55257101074761,"sku":"61294","price":81.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4575\/1008\/files\/81de7fc7f1a64e0a5c7c80ca5c318ba6.jpg?v=1788607942","url":"https:\/\/malva.si\/products\/habitation-velier-rainforest-philippines-pure-single-rum-2024-58-vol-0-7l-giftbox","provider":"Malva","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
