Barbados 2008 is a 12-year-old Rum bottled at cask strength and yielding 244 bottles. This great spirit from Foursquare distillery is a blend of both pot and columns sills, matured in one Ex-Bourbon cask. The ABV is 60,8%.

Tasting Notes:
“This fiery youngster spent two-thirds of its life in the tropics. Colour: gold. Nose: very clean, the column still clearly in charge, with oranges, orgeat syrup and molasses honey. With water: orange liqueur, amaretti, maple syrup. It’s soft on the nose. Mouth (neat): very classic, again lots of orgeat, quite obvious, then triple sec and a tray of assorted cakes and biscuits. Including shortbread, would you believe. With water: light earthiness and sweet spices. Faint salty and tarry touches. Finish: medium length, now a little more herbal. Notes of lovage in the aftertaste. Comments: less personality than the Bally, but more balance overall. Very good, of course.”

Note: SGP:551 - 85 points.
