The Albert Michler Barbados 2005 Single Cask GB Rum is a high-quality, highly aromatic sipping rum with a moderate alcohol content. This limited-edition rum, with only 420 bottles produced, underwent a double maturation process, beginning with distillation from molasses in a pot still in 2005. It was aged for approximately 15 years in bourbon barrels made of American white oak in its native Barbados. Following its tropical aging, the rum was transported to Scotland for an additional 9 months of aging. Notably, this rum is uncolored, unchill-filtered, and free of any added flavors or ingredients.
The Michler's Barbados 2005 Single Cask Collection Rum represents the style that has earned the Foursquare Distillery a global reputation for excellence. Characterized by notes of vanilla and honey, it offers a rich and smooth flavor enhanced by hints of lemon and oak. The rum finishes with a chocolatey and nutty taste that complements its overall profile.
This rum exemplifies the high-quality rum produced in Barbados, known as Bajan rum. The Foursquare Distillery is one of the most respected producers of rum in Barbados, and the Michler's Barbados 2005 Single Cask Collection Rum is a testament to their expertise. Although it was not bottled by the distillery, it was brought to market by the independent bottler Albert Michler Distillery in England as part of a series of single cask releases.
The Albert Michler Barbados 2005 is surprisingly darker in color and sweeter on the nose, with notes of nougat, vanilla, and caramel. It also has a more pronounced wood and subtle fruity sweetness compared to the 2001. The taste is completely different, with bitterness from charred barrels and smoky, peaty aromas.
