Select White comes from a 7-10 day fermentation process, using 100 % freshly pressed sugar cane juice, and is distilled in the exclusive pot stills handcrafted by the Mhoba distillery in the South African province of Mpumalanga.
The distillation process involves the separation of the product into several 'cuts', which are then evaluated and destined for various blends. This rum, with a congeners content at distillation of 839.7 g/hlpa, of which 614.6 g/hlpa are esters, is the result of a special blend of the white 'cuts'. A world premiere in a limited edition.
As for all Habitation Velier, these last two are born from the collaboration between Luca Gargano and the best distillers who use Pot Still stills, and who therefore produce Pure Single Rum, the category that groups together rum excellence.
Each expression of Habitation Velier encapsulates an original project, with unique characteristics: a world first for each distillery. Still little known, Pure Single White Rums are the purest expression of sugar cane or its derivatives (molasses). Vintage rums are aged entirely in a tropical climate, with an angel share of more than 8% per year, allowing natural and accelerated ageing compared to European ageing at the expense of quantity produced. They are bottled barrel proof, without cold filtration, without the addition of caramel or any other element not derived from distillation.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
