RomDeLuxe 15 years old Collectors Series No 13 Barbados Single Cask Rum 60,7%

The Foursquare distillery in Barbados delivers another cask to RomDeLuxe's Collectors Series, this time matured in a cask that previously held Scotch single malt whisky.

Expert Description

RomDeLuxe Collectors Series Rum #13 Barbados Single Cask is a Barbados Rum, bottled from a single cask by the Danish bottler RomDeLuxe, distilled in April 2007 at the Foursquare distillery and aged 15 years in an ex-whisky cask, bottled at 60.7%.

The rum carries the mark MBFSWM and comes from the Foursquare distillery under the supervision of Richard Seale and his team, known for their traditional approach without added sugar or colouring. After distillation, the rum was laid down in a cask that had previously held Scotch single malt whisky, giving it a different character than the classic bourbon and sherry casks usually seen from Barbados. Only 281 bottles were filled in September 2022.

The result is a powerful, cask-strength rum where Barbados' classic balance meets a distinct whisky cask character.
