Velier Magnum Series #2 Clarendon 10 Year 2014 1500ml
In 2021, La Maison and Velier launched a rum bottling range in collaboration with Magnum, the legendary photo agency founded in 1947 by some of the greatest names in photography including Robert Capa and Henri Cartier-Bresson. Magnum has long brought together many of the world’s finest photojournalists, and the rums bottled for this range match the quality of these legendary photographers. All releases are available in both 700ml and 1500 ml (aka “magnum”) bottles.
This second edition of the Magnum range celebrates American photographer Alex Webb, born in 1952 and a member of the agency since 1979. He is renowned for his vibrant, captivating photographs that capture serendipitous, enigmatic moments. More than just a collection of rums, this series embodies a bridge between the art of distillation and that of the image. Each bottle brings these two worlds together, highlighting an original work by a master photographer and an exceptional rum from a renowned distillery. This range is designed to appeal not only to rum lovers, but also to art and photography collectors.
Located in the south of Jamaica, Clarendon was established in 1949 and is renowned for its exceptional versatility. Utilizing both pot and column stills, Clarendon has mastered the full spectrum of molasses-based rums.
While the majority of its production supplies global brands, rare casks are occasionally secured by independent bottlers. This specific expression, distilled on a column still, is an excellent example of the MBS mark.
