Veritas (which is the Latin for 'truth', and was the name of the Roman goddess of truth) is an intriguing and delightful rum was created from a collaboration by the wonderful Foursquare and Hampden, as well as Italian bottler Velier. This unique white rum features a mostly unaged blend of Coffey column still rum from Foursquare and pot still rum from Hampden. Nothing else was added and no filtration was used before Veritas was bottled at 47% ABV at the Foursquare Distillery in Barbados. It's amazing in Daiquiris.
We reckon Veritas is one of our Best Rums under £40!
Vanilla pod, custard and fresh tropical fruit with some vegetal elements lead. Sticky molasses, banana and a little creamy nuttiness develop.

At £34, I was expecting huge things from this rum especially considering everywhere trumps how great the Daiquri's made with it taste. I was immensely disappointed. I've made 100's of Daiquiris, I make them very well. The Daiquiri's made with Veritas really aren't that special. I've tried making other drinks with it too and all you can taste is this rum. It completely dominates and overpowers every other drink I've made including a Santiago and several El Presidente's. I'm literally forcing myself to finish the bottle. If this was a £15-£20 bottle, it probably would have gone down the sink. On the plus side it's fairly smooth for a high-ish ABV drink. That's about it really. Buy a bottle of Havana 3 or El Dorado 3 or Plantation 3-Star. They're all better rums and substantially less expensive. In fact, in some supermarkets you could get 2 bottles of Havana 3 (a characterful Cuban rum that's great for Daiquiris) and still have change from the £34 it would take to buy Veritas. I'd never buy this again and wouldn't recommend it. Even at half the price.
great mixing rum. Makes great tasting daiquiri's!
