- Description
- This Barbados rum undergoes dual maturation: initial ageing in ex-bourbon casks in the Caribbean followed by a second maturation in French oak within Cognac's Charente region. The two-stage process builds depth with vanilla and caramel from the bourbon wood meeting spiced oak complexity from the French casks. The 40% ABV presentation is elegant and approachable, with a smooth, balanced finish. Suited to those who appreciate the craft of considered blending and the interplay of Caribbean and French oak traditions.
