Rolling Fork - 13 Yr Barbados Single Cask Rum 750ml

Rolling Fork 13 Year Barbados Single Cask Rum represents a meeting of legendary Caribbean tradition and American craft. Sourced from the esteemed Foursquare Distillery in Barbados, this spirit showcases the island's mastery of pot and column still blending. It was distilled from molasses in February 2009 before embarking on a unique aging journey. The liquid spent eight years maturing in the tropical heat of Barbados, followed by five years in the cooler climate of Liverpool, UK. It was finished for six months in Starlight, Indiana.

This triple-climate maturation creates a rum of depth and power. It is bottled at a cask strength of 62.7 percent without any filtration or additives. The nose is complex and inviting. You will find aromas of orange peel and salted caramel sitting alongside scents of worn leather. There are also hints of overripe banana and honey. On the palate, the texture is oily and sharp. Flavors of rich toffee, allspice, and clove coat the mouth.

The finish is long and satisfying. Distinct notes of amaretto and cacao linger, followed by the spice of galangal. This is a rare chance to taste a high-proof Foursquare expression that has been carefully curated by Rolling Fork. It captures the best of the barrel with honesty and intensity.
