product Details

Albion AN 1983 Velier

Velier was founded in Genoa in 1947 as a wine and spirits imported and distributor. They selected their first single cask whiskies in 1992, bottled for them by Signatory Vintage, and have gone on to become one of the most collectible brands in the industry. Luca Gargano's involvement with the company has also positioned them as the one of the foremost authorities and bottlers of collectible rum as well.

This was distilled in Guyana at Uitvlugt distillery in 1983, and was bottled in January 2008 from a single cask.

Distilled in the same year and with the same cask mark as the later Velier version, it is safe to assume that the production methods were similar. Albion closed in 1968 and Uitlvugt distillery took over production of Albion 'style,' either on the Four Column Savalle Stillor an undocumented wooden continuous still that may have existed at Uitvlugt prior to receiving one from Enmore when it closed in 1994.

Bottled in Holland in November 2000 from casks AN 552-556.
