Barbados Rum Classic Range Berry Bros & Rudd (70cl, 40.5%)

This is a rum from Barbados, selected by Berry Bros. & Rudd from Foursquare Distillery for the Classic Range. It was distilled and matured on the island and is bottled at 40.5% in a 0.7-litre bottle without added colour. On the nose, sweet honey meets subtle earthy notes. The palate is full-bodied, with sugared almonds between pronounced wood and molasses notes, plus ripe banana and melon. Banana and melon remain in the finish, with papaya adding lasting fruitiness. The rum combines a honeyed aroma with a full flavour and tropical fruit in the aftertaste, showing both fruity and darker, wood-accented sides.
