Foursquare Probitas White Rum (75cl, 47%)

Probitas is a blended white rum made jointly by Foursquare Rum Distillery in Barbados and Hampden Estate in Jamaica. It is bottled at 47% without added sugar, flavouring or colour, and is non-chill filtered. Three rums go into it: an unaged Foursquare Coffey column still rum, a 2-year-old Foursquare pot still rum, and an unaged Hampden pot still rum from the OWH marque. Richard Seale of Foursquare is the blender. The nose is creamy, with custard, vanilla, tropical fruit, citrus and a little baking spice. The palate is oily and full-bodied, with molasses, kola nut, banana, guava and coconut oil. The finish is medium-long, with black pepper, allspice and grilled pineapple.
