Velier Mount Gilboa 2008 70th Anniversary 66% 700ml information

Introducing the Velier Mount Gilboa 2008 70th Anniversary rum, a limited release gem from the renowned Mount Gay distillery in Barbados, selected and bottled by Velier. This 9-year aged expression is a unique and captivating addition to any rum collection. Expertly distilled in 2008 using a Pot Still and molasses, this robust rum boasts an ABV of 66%.

The rum offers a rich and woody aroma, complemented by notes of vanilla, roasted elements, vegetal tones, and the inviting scent of orange peel. On the palate, it delivers a dynamic burst of spicy flavors, matched perfectly with orange peel, tropical fruits, and an intense complexity. The earthy, grassy character and a one-of-a-kind basil note make it a fascinating choice.

This full-bodied rum is characterized by its deep blackberry and cassis depth, which dominate the nose and palate. Tart apple acidity and a touch of ginger spice lift the elegant palate toward a complex, woody finish with rich, lingering leather and a final surge of berry sweetness.

The first impression of the rum is strong, with a powerful presence of plum brandy. The profile is concentrated and deep, almost unfathomable, giving an impression of an old and strong rum. The tannins of black and red fruits cover a rubbery texture with metallic accents, followed by quince and tart apple mixed in a rustic compote. The atmosphere gradually warms up, reminiscent of a spiced baked apple. A vegetal and medicinal note, quite resinous, is also present.

The attack in the mouth is soft and direct, with a steady, slightly spicy rise that leads to a very sweet zenith. The descent in intensity is as progressive, with elegant notes of stone fruit, resin, and fruit brandy.

The concentration and force of this rum may be impressive, but the intensity and mastery are undeniable. The finish is very vegetal and medicinal, with a rubbery texture and metallic accents in retro-olfaction.

This unique rum was discovered in a single cask distilled in a pot still by the distiller Frank Ward, the former owner of the Mount Gay distillery. A true treasure for rum connoisseurs.

Reviewer's opinion

  • The aroma presents a prominent woody scent, with strong alcohol and a distinct orange zest note, rarely found in other rums. A hint of vanilla adds to the complexity.
  • On the palate, the rum is powerful and spicy, with emerging fruit notes and almond. The finish is surprisingly marked by a clear green apple note, accompanied by tannins and a very dry texture.
  • This rum is notably herbal and woody, with alcohol being quite perceptible. While the finish brings out more fruitiness, the dominant wood and herb flavors make it a unique experience.
  • Some reviewers found the alcohol overwhelming and the woodiness too dominant, yet appreciated the complexity and intensity. A few drops of water can slightly mellow the strong alcoholic presence.
  • Despite being from Barbados, this rum stands out due to its earthy and grassy profile, with a unique basil note on the palate.
  • Overall, the rum is flavorful and intense, although some found it too rough and not well-balanced. It remains an intriguing choice for those seeking a bold and distinctive rum experience.
