Since its establishment in 1953, the Velier company has specialized in the importation and distribution of quality wines and spirits, particularly for restaurants and wine bars. With its Habitation Velier rums, the company now offers original creations from a unique distillery, characterized by their purity and authenticity. In this article, discover the history behind these rum selections and how they have shaped Velier's identity.

The origin of Velier

Velier is a wine and spirits importing company founded in 1953 by Arturo Lupi and his partner. At that time, they distributed champagne, grappa, as well as tea and cocoa. Over the years, especially with the arrival of Gian Luca Gargano as a shareholder in 1983, Velier specialized in the importation of high-end spirits mainly for restaurants and wine bars. 

Habitation Velier: Authentic rums from a single distillery

  • For Luca Gargano, it was important that each Habitation Velier rum selection came from a single distillery, to preserve the authenticity and uniqueness of the spirits.
  • The Habitation Velier rums are bottled directly from the cask, without cold filtration, without the addition of caramel or any other element not derived from distillation.
  • The labels of Habitation Velier rums provide valuable information such as distillation and bottling dates, as well as the angel's share, which represents the percentage of evaporation due to aging.

La Villa Paradisetto: Velier's Italian headquarters and the birthplace of the rum selections

Since 1988, Velier has set up its Italian headquarters in Villa Paradisetto in Genoa. This place is also the birthplace of the rum selections that have marked the company's recent history. This is where these exceptional rums proudly bearing the name Habitation Velier are developed and stored.

Warren Khong: an artist at the service of Velier's visuals

To convey the spirit of Villa Paradisetto and highlight the Habitation Velier rum selections, the company enlisted Warren Khong, a renowned artist and professor. Not hesitating to take artistic risks and to revisit traditional aesthetic codes, he has brought the rums to life through his works and created visuals that accurately reflect the brand's image.

The various Habitation Velier rum selections

With their authentic and original approach, the Habitation Velier rum selections have won over a demanding and curious audience. Here are some of the brand's iconic creations:

  • Habitation Velier Forsyths WP 2006: Resulting from a single distillation in 2006, this Jamaican rum reveals complex and powerful aromas, mixing nuts, mild spices, and woody notes.
  • Habitation Velier Hampden 2010 LROK: With a distillation carried out in 2010 and only 1029 bottles produced, this rum bears witness to the expertise of the Hampden Estate distillery and offers notes of candied fruits, spices, and honey.
  • Habitation Velier Foursquare 2013: Produced in Barbados in 2013, this rum has a beautiful amber color and is characterized by delicious flavors of caramel, chocolate, and vanilla.

The Habitation Velier rum selections were born from the desire to preserve the authenticity of spirits from a single distillery. Blending tradition and innovation, they testify to the rigor and expertise of the Velier brand.

``` Note: I preserved the original name "La Villa Paradisetto" since it is a proper noun and its English translation ("The Villa Paradisetto") doesn't convey any additional meaning.
