Today I’m tasting La Maison & Velier’s Flag Series Trinidad 2002. This has quickly become one of my favorite rum releases of the year, with an amazing finish and fantastic label design.

6:17 Outro
This is one of two releases in La Maison & Velier’s Flag Series, which was launched in the US to celebrate the company’s 5th anniversary.
The Flag Series is a collection of single cask rums that La Maison & Velier calls rare and exceptional. Bottled at cask strength with no additives, coloring or filtration. Each release highlights a specific country, tends to be a very old rum, and the label reflects the whole Flag Series concept by showcasing a deconstruction of that country’s flag: in this case the flag for Trinidad & Tobago.
Now this is a molasses based rum. The fermented molasses was distilled on a column still in 2002 and then aged 15 years in an ex-bourbon cask in Trinidad. And then it was aged an additional 5 years in Europe. It’s bottled at a lean and mean 63.1% abv.
