Cane Island Barbados Single Island Blends Rum 70 cl 40%

Unlike its sister releases from Jamaica and Trinidad, this Barbados edition comes from a single, renowned distillery, giving it a more uniform, classic profile.

Expert Description

Cane Island Barbados Single Island Blends is a Barbados Rum, a blend from Foursquare Distillery assembled by Cane Island, aged up to 8 years in the tropical climate and bottled at 40%.

Where Cane Island's other Single Island releases gather rum from several distilleries on the same island, this Barbados edition comes exclusively from Foursquare, the island's best-known distillery, run by Richard Seale. Barbados is considered by many to be the birthplace of rum, and the style here balances between pot and column distillate, a combination typical of the island's tradition.

The result is a well-balanced, dry-to-medium-sweet rum with a classic Barbados character of caramel and spiced oak fullness.
