Habitation Velier is an exceptional project born from the passion and vision of Luca Gargano, undoubtedly the world's greatest rum expert. Coming from a distinguished Italian family renowned for the excellence of its products, Luca Gargano embodies a tradition of exploration and high standards, favoring selective distribution focused on quality rather than volume. The goal of each collaboration with a distillery is to reveal the talent of the best master distillers through their Pure Single rums, creating each time a unique and unprecedented expression signed by Habitation Velier, a true pioneer in the world of prestigious rum.
The Savanna Estate, originally founded at the beginning of the 19th century, is located in Saint-Paul, at the foot of the majestic mountains of Réunion. Initially transformed into a sugar factory, it saw the birth of its distillery between 1948 and 1950 thanks to the initiative of Emile Hugot. An engineer trained at the École Centrale des Arts et Manufactures in Paris, Emile Hugot became an emblematic and influential figure in the global sugar industry. From 1982, a strategic partnership allowed the Savanna distillery to raise its standards, producing high-end rums recognized for their finesse and quality, earning it the distinction of being the first European distillery certified ISO 9002, a mark of excellence and rigor.
This Herr White white rum from Savanna, carefully bottled by the prestigious Habitation Velier, is a true rarity. Herr, standing for High Ester Rum Reunion, comes from a long and controlled fermentation that favored an exceptional concentration of aromatic molecules, reaching about 500g per hectoliter of pure alcohol, giving the rum an incomparable richness and aromatic complexity.
This exceptional, rare, and precious rum is an exclusive that Clos des Spiritueux is proud to offer you. To preserve this rarity and allow as many enthusiasts as possible to enjoy it, we limit the purchase to one bottle per person.
