MG 2003 9 Year Old
These casks were discovered by Luca and Paolo Gargano in 2006 while working in Marie-Galante for the Rhum Rhum brand. Velier decided to acquire 6000 litres of this 2003 vintage agricole rum from Bielle distillery, all in ex-bourbon barrels. Their intent was to gain a deeper understanding of the tropical ageing of Marie-Galante agricole, the esterification over time, and the share given out to the angels.
This was the third and final bottling from the casks, released in 2012 and aged 9 years. It was drawn from the last remaining 20 barrels.
Bielle
One of three distilleries on the island of Marie-Galante in the Guadeloupe archipelago. It was founded at the end of the 19th century as rum production began to take over following the decline in profitability of sugar and the Bielle brand has been marketed since 1910.
Velier
An Italian importer and distributor founded in Genoa in 1947. Under the ownership of Luca Gargano since 1986, it has become one of the most important companies in the world rum. It represents a huge array of brands in Europe as well as marketing a number of its own.
