Collectors Series Rum No. 10 Barbados 19 years old RomDeLuxe Rum 50.7%

19 years in a colder, continental climate have given this Foursquare rum a gentler, milder character than one usually associates with Barbados's tropical heat.

Expert Description

RomDeLuxe Collectors Series Rum #10 Barbados is a Barbados Rum, distilled at the Foursquare distillery in 2002 and aged 19 years, bottled at 50.7%.

The rum is distilled from molasses on both pot and column stills and has spent most of its ageing in a continental climate rather than Barbados's tropical heat. This gives the bottle a lighter, golden colour and a gentler, milder character than most other RomDeLuxe releases from Foursquare, where tropical ageing typically creates a darker, more intense profile. Only 214 bottles were drawn from this 19-year-old single cask.

The result is an elegant, approachable rum where Foursquare's classic coconut and vanilla character appears in an unusually gentle guise.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Gentle coconut and vanilla with a hint of chocolate and fine wood notes.

Finish

Softly concluding with fine wood notes and persistent chocolate.
