Velier Royal Navy Of. Tiger Shark - Single Bottle - First Release

The wine

Luca Gargano has kept aside a number of unlabelled bottles of the Tiger Shark blend for a personal project he has been preparing for a long time, Single Bottles.

These numbered bottles feature photos taken by Luca during his many travels. They tell the story of his experiences and encounters, offering a natural and un-staged perspective. This project plunges collectors into the world of rum as seen by Velier, from its raw materials, to ageing and distillation. Rum’’s legendary locations are also showcased, including Haiti, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago. These Single Bottles represent over 20 years’’ worth of travels across the globe.

Tiger Shark is a complex blend produced entirely with pot still rums from several distilleries in the former British West Indies aged exclusively in a tropical climate and bottled at Navy Strength (57.18% ABV).
