Rhum Rhum Velier - Liberation 2010 - 70 cl

Rhum Rhum PMG “Libération 2010” Bois Noble – Marie-Galante – 45% – 70 cl – Original Box

A very rare and iconic bottle from Rhum Rhum PMG, created through the collaboration between Luca Gargano, founder of Velier, and Italian master distiller Vittorio Gianni Capovilla and Its statued as the very first Rhum Rhum Liberation.

Produced on the island of Marie-Galante, this “Libération 2010” edition was the first Rhum Rhum release and therefore holds a special place in the history of a brand that has since become highly regarded among collectors. The year 2010 refers to the “liberation” of the rum from the cask, rather than the year of distillation.

This agricole rum was made at BIELLE Distillery from fresh sugarcane juice harvested in Marie-Galante. The juice underwent a long fermentation, followed by an artisanal double distillation in small copper pot stills heated in a bain-marie, using the method favoured by Capovilla.

The rum was then matured in casks that had previously held prestigious French white wines, adding elegance, richness and complexity to its character.

Bottled at 45% ABV, this “Bois Noble” edition is appreciated for its balance between the fresh, vegetal character of pure sugarcane juice and the refinement brought by its maturation.

Its aromatic profile is generally associated with citrus fruit, fresh sugarcane and fine oak, together with notes of tropical fruit, warm spices, caramel and dried fruit, followed by a long and persistent finish.

Its status as the very first “Libération”, its instantly recognisable illustrated label and its original presentation box make it a particularly attractive bottle for collectors of agricole rum, Velier enthusiasts and admirers of Capovilla’s work.
