1731 Fine & Rare Barbados 8 Year Old (46%)

This is an aged Barbados rum from the 1731 Fine & Rare series, distilled at Foursquare Distillery from molasses. It combines column and pot still distillation and has spent at least eight years maturing in American oak. The series takes its name from 1731, the year the Royal Navy reputedly began giving sailors a half pint of rum as part of their pay. Every rum in the range is bottled in its natural colour, without caramel, sweeteners or artificial flavouring, and each was aged where it was made. It is a rounded, easy-going rum, with notes of spice and sweet vanilla.
