Berry Bros & Rudd Classic Range Barbados 5-Year

The colour is pale, not inspiring for someone who prefers gold and aged molasses rums. The aroma reminiscent of Caribbean cocktails. The taste... Smooth, sweet, crisp and fresh with a after taste of coconut, almost a shame to mix it with anything but ice. A real surprise and delight for someone that doesn't normally like white rum.

This bottle embodies Barbados very well. Not sure if it's a blend or comes from a single distillery. For me it has both the characteristics of a young Forsquare rum and a middle aged (5-8 yrs) Mount Gay rum. Great stuff nevertheless.

Pleasant taste of casks and vanilla. Got this in a rum calendar. Nice surprise!

This is clearly Foursquare but quite a weak one in years and abv ... The usual banana Caribbean notes from the distillery mixed with oak ... Would be immense if it dialled the abv up a bit.. shame could have been special
