Papalin 6 Year Haiti ex Sherry Casks

, , ,

Papalin 6 Year Haiti ex Sherry Casks Rum is the latest limited release from the Papalin project.

The idea is based on our desire to go back in the history of rum to the late 1800s, when Jamaican traders began to make blends, i.e., mixtures of rums from different distilleries. Take Myers’s and John Wray Nephew: in addition to selling rum casks and exporting them to Europe, they also produced their own blends – never specifying the distilleries of origin. Then, over the last seventy years, we’ve seen an increasing number of brands of European-produced blends like for example Negrita, with mixtures made by European blenders. Then in the seventies individual distilleries began selling their own products, and as a result tropical blends have slowly and gradually disappeared. In light of all these changes, the goal of the Papalin project is to bring back the ancient tradition of rum blends.

What is the idea behind the project? 
Papalin is a project dedicated to blends conceived by Luca Gargano, with the aim of bringing together rums from Caribbean islands that have been entirely produced and aged at distilleries. After the release dedicated to Jamaica, the spotlight shifts to Haiti, with a rum produced from a blend of 3 pot still rums from Haiti for a total of 7 ex-Sherry casks, all entirely aged in a tropical climate. Superb!

Papalin 6 Year Haiti ex Sherry Casks Rum is part of the acclaimed Papalin single country blends released by Velier.

Papalin is a project dedicated to rum blends, made by Luca Gargano himself. After the success of the first edition launched by Velier in October 2013 (now a collectors’ item), the brand was revived with two releases: Papalin Jamaica 7 years old and Papalin Jamaica 7 years old Navy Proof, and now with a Haitian 4 Year release.

Haiti is the latest area of research and selection by Velier and this exquisite 4 year expression represents a new horizon of blending tropically aged pot still rums. They are ‘vatted rums’ (blend of different pot stills) entirely aged in the respective warehouses of the distilleries where they were produced: After the release dedicated to Jamaica, the spotlight shifts to Haiti, with a rum produced from a blend from 3 different pot still rums for a total of 7 ex-Sherry casks, all entirely aged in a tropical climate.

The reason Papalin is called a “tropical dependent bottler” is that Velier is the only company that created direct partnerships with distilleries when it comes to sourcing and ageing rums, and therefore depends on the distilleries until the product is bottled. This way, all the projects are planned hand in hand with partners in terms of sourcing and ageing, which always takes place in the official warehouses of the distilleries.
