This, the most recent release of the Velier selection, is a 15-year-old split between a decade in ex-bourbon casks and a further five years in ex- Port pipes. There’s rich fruit immediately: haskap berry, mulberry and fig, alongside black cherry and tamarind. Behind is a mix of tropical fruits, with some vanilla and brown sugar. This generous and ripe character continues on the palate. This is the jammiest of the range, with the sweetness riding over the tannic structure, though as ever there’s a bittersweet kiss so typical of Foursquare on the finish. Silky and soft, with instant appeal.
