Origin & Background

Produced from molasses made from Barbadian sugar cane, this rum was distilled using column stills, a hallmark of Barbados rum production known for its smooth and balanced style. Following initial ageing in the Caribbean, the rum underwent extended maturation in ex-Bourbon casks in Scotland. This long and careful ageing has resulted in a refined spirit where oak, fruit, and sweetness are perfectly integrated.

Tasting Profile

• Palate: Smooth, rich, and well-structured, offering flavours of caramel, toffee, tropical fruit, and vanilla cream, balanced by toasted oak and subtle nutmeg.
• Finish: Long and polished, with lingering notes of vanilla, light spice, oak sweetness, and a soft, dry elegance.
