Veritas White Blended Barbados-Jamaican Rum (47%)

When Foursquare, Hampden and La Maison & Velier work together, this is a guarantee for success: Veritas. Veritas is the Latin word for truth and the name of the Roman goddess of truth. Exactly what this rum wants to achieve: no fuss or additives.

Veritas is a blend of white rums from the traditional Foursquare Coffey Column in Barbados and the Double Retort Pot Still at Hampden. No added sugar and no filtration, but an explosive aromatic palette. Extremely suitable for (home) bartenders and great in a Daiquiri.
