Foursquare 2005 Velier 16 Year Old Barbados Rum Series #1 Elliott Erwitt Edition 61% Magnum

Foursquare 2005 Velier Magnum is a very special rum for connoisseurs and collectors. This exclusive edition is part of the Barbados Rum Series #1 and is a collaboration between the legendary Foursquare Distillery and Italian rum specialist Velier. The result is a top-class rum – powerful, complex and full of character.

This edition also pays homage to world-renowned photographer Elliott Erwitt and unites two worlds: art and craft. The series brings together classic rum production with artistic inspiration, with the label and release paying homage to Erwitt’s iconic photographic universe. It is a unique collector’s bottle where rum and art meet in a rare and prestigious release.

Distilled in 2005 at Foursquare Distillery in Barbados, the rum was aged for 16 years in a tropical climate, resulting in an intense and deep flavor profile. Bottled in 2021 at 61% alcohol – close to cask strength – it delivers a powerful and authentic experience where all the nuances of cask and distillate stand out.

As a Pure Single Blended Rum, the rum is a combination of rums distilled on both traditional pot stills and modern column stills from the same distillery. The result is a perfect balance of power, structure and elegance – a hallmark of Foursquare, which today is considered one of the world’s top rum producers.
