Distilia for Top Bars

The initiative built on a foundation of collaboration with the world’s finest rum bars.

The series reflects our ambition to continue creating top-tier, exclusive bottlings alongside exceptional partners.

We warmly welcome outstanding bars interested in shaping the next releases to join us.

The series for Top Bars is created with the world’s most respected rum bars - celebrating exceptional cask selections, local identity, and a shared passion for uncompromising spirits.

Each release is developed together with iconic venues and personalities shaping contemporary rum culture, transforming every bottle into both a collectible spirit and a tribute to place.

Starting with the Jamaican jewel - Clarendon 1995, created in partnership with Bar Lamp Tokyo and Rhum Attitude Brussels, the journey continued with the refined Foursquare 2006, bottled exclusively for the legendary Parisian Bar 1802.

Foursquare 2006/2025 18-Year-Old Barbados Rum

A rare and artisanal single-cask selection, this Foursquare 2006/2025, bottled by Distilia exclusively for Bar 1802 in Paris, represents an exceptional meeting of craftsmanship and terroir. Personally selected by Christopher Bellail, the visionary behind the iconic Bar 1802 at Hotel Monte Cristo, this release captures the unmistakable character of Foursquare - a distillery consistently awarded Best Distillery in the World and celebrated for its transparency, integrity, and mastery of traditional rum making.

Matured for a remarkable 18 years, including 14 years in a tropical climate, this Single Cask #38 was bottled at a powerful 59.7% cask strength, delivering a profile both intense and refined. The label features a hand-painted artistic interpretation of the Bar 1802 interior, created by Artur Ortega, further underscoring the collaboration’s commitment to art, authenticity, and sense of place. This bottling stands as a true celebration of Distilia’s curatorial philosophy and Bar 1802’s spirit of discovery. It forms part of a special project dedicated to the world’s top bars.

Clarendon 1995/2023 – 27-Year-Old Finest Jamaican Rum

A monumental single cask Clarendon, distilled in March 1995 and bottled in January 2023 after an astonishing 23 years of tropical aging.

This 27-year-old pot still molasses rum showcases the deep, full-throttle character that has made Clarendon Distillery legendary among Jamaican producers. Bottled at a formidable 64.7% ABV, uncut and unfiltered, it offers a sensory journey that is both rich and unapologetically powerful.

Created in collaboration with our two respected partners - Bar Lamp in Tokyo and Rhum Attitude in Brussels, this release celebrates shared passion and expertise across continents. The label features a hand-drawn sketch of a Japanese street, paying tribute to the partnership with Bar Lamp and highlighting the cultural bridge behind this exceptional bottling.

Expect an aromatic profile layered with dried tropical fruits - ripe mangoes, bruised nectarines, and candied citrus peel - followed by darker notes of tar, liquorice, and delicate hints of fresh mint and cooling eucalyptus. A heavyweight in every sense: bold, oily, and utterly captivating.
