Cockspur 5 Star is a golden combination of column and pot-stilled rums matured in American white oak barrels before blending. Coral-filtered water is used from a nearby aquifer to dilute the rum to bottle strength.
The company Cockspur was founded in 1884 by Danish seaman Valdemar Hanschell. Barbados was chosen as a location beccause at the time it was one of the Caribbean's largest shipping ports.

Tones of smoke with a dark hay colour and undertones of vanilla. Clears the pallette quickly with a sweet taste left after.
Very basic rum. Use it for mixing, since there is nothing to really savor here.

A really nice rum, but perhaps not a top sipper. Easygoing, clear notes of Bourbon cask, no additives, dry and lively. It is light, and simple - but nithing wrong with it.

Light amber color, some heat, not overly complex and the flavors don't pop out at you. A fair price for a mixer from Barbados. Better than most rums comparable in price. I like that Cockspur uses both the traditional column and pot stills to distill their rums.

Good taste and smooth on ice. A good rum for the price.

Tried at a rum bar in Munich. Somewhat strong nose, thin taste and a slight burn. Meh.

Doesn't hurt nobody, light body, take it a little later while you're tasting 😁
Sherry, Sweet, Spicy, smooth.
I enjoy neat or mixed.
Something about the bottle, and then opening it up and tasting it, I thought I didn’t like it, wouldn’t like it, but as I’ve mixed with it, a complexity and playfulness I wasn’t expecting started to show through.

There's nothing very special with this one, but it's a good mix and standard bar-rail in Barbados. If you're there, I'd get the far-superior Mount Gay XO instead for not a lot of extra money or the Eclipse for a straight-swap if available.
