Mettere il gusto al centro della narrazione dei distillati, fare cultura in materia di spirits portando in primo piano tutto quello che tradizionalmente è celato dietro le etichette e i brand dando spazio alle storie dei produttori e al loro contesto di riferimento.  È questo l'approccio che Velier, prima azienda italiana per ricerca e importazione di distillati, ha scelto per consolidare la sua attività di divulgazione e formazione sugli spirits rivolta non solo agli operatori ma anche al pubblico di appassionati e curiosi, leitmotiv dell'incontro “Whisky vs Rum, Rum vs Whisky - Una comparativa delle eccellenze Velier attraverso il malto d'orzo e la canna da zucchero” tenutosi a Napoli ed ospitato da Falangan's.

La storia di Billecart-Salmon è quella di una delle poche maison di champagne rimaste di proprietà familiare per oltre 200 anni. Ce ne ha parlato Gil Grigliatti, Brand Ambassador per Velier in Italia, in occasione di un evento di presentazione dell'azienda ospitato da “L'Antiquario” a Napoli. 

La Galleria Principe di Napoli e le suggestive sale in stile belle époque di Scotto Jonno hanno ospitato la prima presentazione partenopea di Silent Pool Gin, il London Dry Gin Inglese di lusso firmato William Grant & Sons. Il Brand Ambassador Antonio Franzese ha ripercorso le tappe della sua storia, dalla nascita fino ad oggi. Il distillato di fascia ultra-premium arriva direttamente dalle colline del Surrey, un territorio affascinante con le sue distese di campi di lavanda, i castelli e le ville storiche, paesaggi che hanno rapito scrittori del calibro di Jane Austen, Arthur Conan Doyle e Walter Scott e che hanno ispirato e spinto Ian McCulloch insieme a un gruppo di amici a creare un gin artigianale che raccontasse la loro magia.

"Il Sea Breeze è arrivato tardi in Italia perché il suo ingrediente principale, il succo di cranberry Ocean Spray, è arrivato in Italia solo nel 2020, grazie a Velier", aveva osservato Dom Costa (bartender, mixology expert e autore del libro Drinkzionario). Cocktail semplice, leggero e rinfrescante a base di vodka, pompelmo e appunto succo di cranberry, nasce per un'iniziativa di marketing. Ma andiamo con calma.

Del fenomeno del whisky italiano vi abbiamo parlato qualche mese fa (leggi qui https://horecanews.it/alla-scoperta-del-whisky-italiano-tra-terroir-artigianalita-e-innovazione). E lo ribadiamo: il mercato è in continua espansione. Un'altra prova viene da Firenze, dove da poco è nato Florentis, il primo whisky artigianale toscano, prodotto nel cuore della regione del Chianti Classico da Winestillery e distribuito da Velier.

BOEM, la nuova bevanda frizzante e leggermente alcolica al gusto di zenzero, sta rivoluzionando il mercato italiano. Grazie alla partnership strategica con Velier, leader nella distribuzione di bevande alcoliche e pioniere di brand di successo come Fever Tree e Hendricks, BOEM sta rapidamente diventando la scelta preferita nei migliori bar italiani.

Silent Pool Gin è una versione esclusiva di London Dry Gin che dopo l'acquisizione del marchio da parte di William Grant & Sons nell'autunno del 2023, sta ora iniziando. grazie a Velier. la sua distribuzione capillare sul territorio italiano, portando con sé una qualità ultra-premium e una storia affascinante.

Dal 9 all'11 marzo si è svolta la 19° edizione di Identità Milano. Il tema scelto per il 2024 era “Non esiste innovazione senza disobbedienza”, un tema molto caro a Velier che, assieme a Champagne Billecart-Salmon, ha convintamente rinnovato l'impegno a fianco di Identità Golose come Main Sponsor.

Uptown FUNK When you think Jamaican rum, you think funk. Funny thing is, most Jamaican rum by both volume and number of distillers is not funky.  BTW - funky is the unscientific way of saying ester content. All those fruity, dark, tropical, funky notes are esters, the interactions and transformations of acids and alcohols and aldehydes into the familiar flavor compounds we love.  Hampden Estate, however, is the funkiest of them all.  Originally built in 1753, Hampden has been producing Trelawney-style rum (named for its province in Jamaica) continuously for closer to three centuries than two. For nearly that entire history, though, they produced rum and rum extracts for other bottlers, lending their flavors to everything from blended rum to confectionary to perfumes. Had rum cake? Hampden. Rum-flavored anything? Chances are, Hampden.  After the Hussey family bought Hampden in 2009, they made the massive decision to bottle their own rum for the first time. Most of their production is still dedicated to blends and rectifiers - they're phasing out independent bottlers - and the results so far have been spectacular. In 2023, they gave the rum world a love letter with their 8 Marks Collection, to be repeated in 2024. Nerdiness abounds, with everything you could want to know about every mark in the Hampden lineup.  This was a hell of an episode, and I can't wait to do the follow-up.  Thanks everyone for listening, and thank you to Kate for entering the Whiskey Ring! _________________________________________________________ If you haven't joined the Patreon community yet, please consider doing so!  If you haven't yet, please follow Whiskey in my Wedding Ring and the Whiskey Ring Podcast on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, and subscribe to the newsletter on the website.  Hampden Estate Rum Hampden Estate Rum Website Hampden Estate Rum on Instagram Hampden Estate Rum on Facebook Thanks to our Lead Sponsor, Black Button Distillery  Black Button Distilling Website Black Button Distilling on Facebook Black Button Distilling on Instagram Thanks to our Presenting Sponsor, ImpEx Beverages https://impexbev.com ImpEx on Instagram ImpEx on Facebook ImpEx on Twitter

Le manifestazioni legate a mixology e spirit vivono una seconda giovinezza e un profondo rinnovamento. Cosa sta cambiando? Vediamolo insieme. LO SCENARIO Intanto, negli ultimi anni, nelle fiere sul tema sono state protagoniste - oltre alle etichette blasonate - soprattutto le produzioni artigianali con ingredienti del territorio. Un trend che ha contribuito di riflesso alla rinascita di antichi liquori tradizionali e all'introduzione di ingredienti esotici ma di provenienza locale. E poi, queste fiere sono sempre più immersive e tecnologiche, con esperienze interattive e di realtà aumentata che incrementano la soddisfazione e la partecipazione emotiva del visitatore. VELIER LIVE 2024 Erano ben 5 anni che Velier Live mancava dalle scene. Dal punto di vista di presenza di pubblico, di adesione delle aziende espositrici e di allestimento scenografico, l'evento Velier Live 24 è stato un successo. Aveva promesso di essere una esperienza immersiva e lo è stata. Non c'era stand che non fosse allestito in modo da immergere il visitatore nell'ambiente d'origine del prodotto: dalla Piazzetta Capri brandizzata Portofino Gin (che ha presentato la nuova referenza La Penisola, più secca, pensata per il Martini Cocktail) alla sala cinema con tanto di rum bar dentro l'hotel Florita, passando per lo stand della Distillerie de Monaco, che produce liquore di arancia amara (dal 2017), liquore alla carruba - albero nazionale monegasco - (dal 2019) e gin con agrumi locali (dal 2021) e che aveva decorato il suo spazio con le principali botaniche usate negli spirits, dalle arance ai limoni locali fino alla carruba.

Dopo cinque anni di pausa torna il Velier Live e lo fa in grande stile, con un evento che ha l'ambizione di riscrivere le regole dei trade show mondiali, alzando l'asticella delle esperienze offerte agli operatori del settore e ai tanti appassionati italiani. Il Velier Live si candida così a diventare l'evento di settore più importante dell'anno.

Ci sarà anche Amaro Santoni al prossimo Velier Live, l'evento organizzato da Velier per guidare gli operatori del settore e gli appassionati alla scoperta dei distillati che importa e distribuisce in esclusiva. Per l'occasione, il liquore toscano a base di rabarbaro, i prossimi 18 e 19 febbraio, negli spazi del Superstudio Maxi di Milano, ricostruirà l'ambientazione e l'atmosfera del Sips di Barcellona, il cocktail bar, eletto The World's Best Bar 2023, di cui Simone Caporale è socio insieme a Marc Álvarez, bartender fra i più creativi e innovativi al mondo.

Dopo un intervallo di cinque anni l'evento Velier Live ritorna in grande stile, promettendo di ridefinire gli standard dei trade show a livello mondiale. L'evento ambizioso si propone di sollevare il livello delle esperienze offerte sia agli operatori del settore che agli appassionati italiani, posizionandosi come il principale evento di settore dell'anno. L'interesse crescente degli amanti dei distillati pregiati si accompagna a una vera e propria riscoperta della mixology che sta attraversando l'Italia da nord a sud. Le fiere di settore stanno giocando un ruolo cruciale nel sostenere e stimolare questa crescita. Tuttavia, Velier avverte oggi la necessità di un cambio di passo, di un salto ulteriore che spinga avanti l'intero settore.

In this episode, we went deep on the eight marks of Jamaica's Hampden Estate and the making of the recently released 8 Marks Collection with Peppie Grant (Tour Manager at Hampden), Daniele Biondi (Export Manager at La Maison & Velier), and Howard McCalla (Production Manager at Hampden).Speaking with people from both Hampden and La Maison & Velier allowed us to get the full story behind the 8 Marks Collection, from the rum itself to how the release came together in the first place. We discussed:How the idea for the 8 Marks Collection came aboutChallenges in creating a unique product like thisThe best ways to taste through Hampden's marksHow to approach blending marks togetherWhy higher ester level does not automatically make a rum more complexWhat exactly is cane juice vinegar?Whether certain marks are only made on certain stills or notHampden's rumored 3,000 (or even 7,000!) ester level rumsWhy Jamaica limits ester levels in rumThe perils of the "high ester" descriptorThe upcoming aged version of the 8 Marks CollectionHampden's futureAnd much more!P.S.

Tra i primi ad aderire, Engine, Portofino Gin, Hampden Estate, Clairin Communal e Yaguara.

At long last, we speak to our first rum producer from Réunion Island! In this episode, we welcomed Marie Ferrand (Cellar Master) and Yann Auberval (Director of Marketing) to take us inside Isautier Distillery's traditions of both cane juice and molasses-based rums.

Luca Gargano è il presidente di Velier, società genovese che ricerca e distribuisce vini, liquori e prodotti alimentari. Più di vent'anni fa ha iniziato a ragionare su un approccio diverso al vino: da quei ragionamenti è nato il progetto Triple "A": Agricoltori-Artigiani-Artisti. Un manifesto, con un decalogo, per allontanarsi dalla chimica applicata al vino e tornare a rappresentare fedelmente un terroir. Un progetto pionieristico che nel 2023 compie vent'anni, di cui oggi racconteremo la storia.

LFE was lucky enough to catch Johann Jobello, Rum Product Manager for La Maison & Velier, while he was in town briefly to debut an incredible assortment of products to the Twin Cities. Johann is an absolute force in his sprawling knowledge of rum distilling, and came heavily equipped with an absolute onslaught of goodies from the Transcontinental Rum Line, Papalin and Hampden families of rum (and friends Kate Perry of La Maison & Velier, and Jon Olson of Libation Project!) to share with Ben & Charles, as they discussed each of those offerings, in addition to recommendations of food and beverages to seek out in the Caribbean, what other locales can impart from French craftsmanship, favorite off the radar rum cocktails, friendliest cities to travel to, and more.

In this episode, we sat down with Steffen Mayer, who spent the last five years writing the ultimate book on Caroni (Caroni: 100% Trinidad Rum). Caroni, of course, is the legendary Trinidad distillery that closed around 2003, leaving behind a cache of aged rum that subsequently became some of the most sought-after rum in the world after bottlers like Velier built up its legend. And that's before getting to the rum's entirely unique flavor profile.Steffen took us through his journey of writing the book and shared insight after insight that he learned from the 100+ interviews he conducted, including:Why Caroni closedThe truth about Caroni using Jamaican rum in some of their blendsWhich distilleries around the world have used Caroni rum in their blendsWhy the value of Caroni's aged rum was so heavily disputed following its closureCaroni's use of neutral spirit in its blendsThe differences in Caroni's rum marks (and which ones are more worth seeking out)Where Caroni's "dirty" notes come fromThe most memorable interviews and tasting sessions he had while writing the bookAnd much more!Here are links to some of the retailers carrying Steffen's book:https://www.spiritacademy.it/en/libri/caroni-book-100-trinidad-rum-5030.htmlhttps://www.whisky.fr/en/steffen-mayer-caroni-100-trinidad-rum.htmlhttps://www.armagnac.de/products/caroni-bookhttps://www.whiskyboeken.nl/en_GB/a-72158467/library/steffen-mayer-caroni-100-trinidad-rum/https://www.whiskytempel.de/shop/caroni-100-trinidad-rum-volumne-1-2-book-by-steffen-mayer.htmlP.S.

In this episode, we caught up with Kate Perry and Johann Jobello of La Maison & Velier to learn about Arhumatic—a French brand that's quite different from anything else in the LM&V portfolio. Arhumatic specializes in rhum arrangé, a traditional preparation of rum in islands with French ties like Réunion, Martinique, and Guadeloupe. Rhum arrangé involves macerating rum (either rhum agricole or molasses-based rum, depending on the island) in fresh fruits and/or botanicals, typically for months at a time. While commercial brands are common in France, Arhumatic is possibly the first to become available in the United States. In the interview we discuss...The history and origins of rhum arrangéHow rhum arrangé varies between the French Caribbean and RéunionHow Arhumatic produces their rhum arrangé and develops new ideasThe perils of the term "flavored rum" (and why it doesn't feel fitting for products like this)Why La Maison & Velier decided to partner with a brand that's so different from the rest of their rum portfolioHow Arhumatic going beyond rhum agricole in their rhum arrangés with Jamaican rum, clairin, and moreThe challenges of bringing unfamiliar types of rum to new placesThe best ways to use rhum arrangéAnd more!Additional Resources on Arhumatic:Arhumatic websiteP.S.

In this episode, we chat with Knud Strand about the rapid rise of Mhoba Rum, a single estate distillery making rum from fresh sugarcane juice in Malelane, South Africa. Over the last few years, Knud has worked closely with founder Robert Greaves to guide Mhoba's development, bring the rum to new markets, and get it on the radar of rum enthusiasts around the world. Knud takes us through the distillery's origin story, how he got involved, his own backstory in the rum and spirits world, the ever evolving production process at Mhoba (which includes everything from homemade pot stills to muck pits, unconventional aging methods, and more), how deals with independent bottlers like Velier and Holmes Cay came together, the magic of terroir-driven spirits, what's next for Mhoba, and much more.Links to Learn More:Check out Mhoba's website hereFollow Knud on Instagram

Certaines actualités dans l'univers du rhum ont retenu l'attention de nos chroniqueurs en herbe du Single Cast et on décide de décortiquer certains sujets comme l'évolution des tarifs des nouveaux Neisson, la nouvelle cuvée Longueteau-Confrérie du Rhum, les version 10cl de Velier et la nouvelle distillerie Renegade à Grenade.

Cette semaine ont été présentés les derniers embouteillages de millésimes 100% Pot Still de chez Appleton Estate en collaboration avec Velier. Retour sur un lancement historique.

If you've been exploring the rum world, you may have heard of how incredibly different Haitian rum is, Clairin specifically, the name for the native rum of Haiti.    That being said, we felt Clairin was more akin to mezcal and other agave spirits, with over 500 micro distilleries operating on the island creating a wildly unique local spirit that remains relatively unexplored in the world of cane distillate. Natural, uncut, unfiltered and different from everything you've ever had before, it's time to explore the world of Clairin with one of the most knowledgeable rum experts we've ever encountered: Kate Perry from La Maison & Velier.

As North American Market Manager for La Maison & Velier, Kate Perry has a front row seat for many of the rum world's most sought-after releases from brands like Habitation Velier, Clairin the Spirit of Haiti, Transcontinental Rum Line, Hampden Estate, and more. On this episode, she dives into her own history with rum, opening Rumba in Seattle, traveling the Caribbean, what makes La Maison & Velier different from independent bottlers, working with Luca Gargano, upcoming releases, a new distillery in Haiti, her past rum predictions, and more.

Maggie talks to Christian about life in Italy, Aperitivo culture, Velier, and some cool upcoming Privateer releases in the US and Europe.

Maggie Campbell, head distiller and president at Privateer Rum, goes in depth on the Massachusetts distillery's journey to find the perfect molasses, getting feedback from Richard Seale, upcoming releases with Velier, barrel room terroir, being unstuck in time, the making of a new rum expression, the art of taking silly photos, and more.

There has been an explosion of Rum awareness in the last few years and with that comes an uprising in the demand of strict protections of an extremely old and traditionally ignored regulatory category. Rum. This week I sit down at Tales of the Cocktail with the incredible Kate Perry, of La Maison & Velier(@wheninrhum) and Foursquare's Richard Seale to discuss. Whiskey Neat is a podcast and Radio show on iTunes and ESPN 97.5 FM in Houston and is brought to you every week by the following sponsors.

Kate Perry grew up in Maine, and earned degrees in Anthropology/Archaeology & Geography/Geology from the University of Denver. She moved to Seattle after college, drank a lot of sherry, opened a rum bar, and drank a lot of rum. She was invited to Haiti with the Velier spirits company, where she fell in love with Haiti and fell in love with Velier.
