VELIER ROYAL NAVY Tigershark, 57.18% ABV

Impressive and majestic, the new Tigershark expression of the Velier Royal Navy range is a blend of several distilleries from the British West Indies. This Pure Vatted Rum, distilled only in pot stills, aged exclusively under tropical conditions in ex-bourbon casks. With an average age of 14 years and bottled at Navy Strength (57.18°) as a tribute to the British Navy, it shines with power and exuberance. The nose is marked by esters, the palate tends towards citrus and candied exotic fruits. In the finish, there are woody notes, chocolate, spices, and heady flowers, giving this blend a striking complexity.

This vatted rum purported has a minimum age of 14 years, and is blend of worthy park and rums from demerara distillers limited. Superb stuff.

Key Information

Serving Suggestions
First things first, be comfortable, relaxed and free from distractions. Pour a healthy amount (15-25ml) into a nosing glass (e.g., glencairn) and let it sit for a while. We recommend a minute of resting in the glass for every year in the cask. Otherwise, let it settle down for 5-10 minutes at least.

Help yourself to a 'warm up dram' in the meantime - something simple to open up the palate. When ready, start nosing the spirit, followed by sipping it (noting how it arrives on your palate and its development), and finally the finish. Take your time to get to know the spirit, noting its expression, character, depth, complexity and flavours. These can all change with adding drops of water so play around to find different sides of the spirit and identity a personal sweet spot for yourself!

But always remember, the best way to drink it is the way you like it!
