Famille Ricci Barbados WIRD 2009 63% 50cl

Famille Ricci Barbados WIRD 2009 is a powerful single-origin release distilled in 2009 at the West Indies Rum Distillery in Barbados. Selected and bottled by Famille Ricci, this high-proof expression at 63% ABV is crafted for enthusiasts who appreciate intensity, purity, and the classic elegance of Barbadian rum.

Distilled in a column still and fully matured in bourbon casks, this vintage highlights the traditional balance associated with Barbados: creamy natural sweetness, refined oak structure, and impressive clarity. The extended cask ageing in bourbon barrels enhances vanilla depth and smoothness while preserving freshness and definition. Bottled without added sugar and without colouring, it remains true to its origin and distillation style.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Deep golden amber with warm reflections.

Nose: Generous and inviting. Pronounced aromas of macadamia nut, vanilla, and coconut lead the profile, supported by subtle oak undertones and gentle bourbon influence.

Palate: Rich and indulgent. Layers of candied coconut, cocoa powder, and almond unfold across a creamy yet structured texture. The bourbon cask maturation adds depth, roundness, and balance, while the 63% strength provides concentration and power.

Finish: Long and satisfying. Soft caramel and lightly toasted wood emerge, lingering with warmth, refinement, and elegant persistence.
