The Cockspur XO Masters Select Rum is a premium spirit that pays tribute to the historic beginnings of rum production, with its roots tracing back to the Danish West Indies and the island of Barbados. Distilled from fermented molasses, this exquisite rum is aged in former bourbon barrels from the United States and Oloroso sherry casks from Spain, imparting a rich, dark color and a unique flavor profile.
This extra old (XO) rum is a blend of molasses rums from the Caribbean island of Barbados and is produced by Cockspur, one of the oldest distilleries in Barbados, founded in 1884 by Valdemar Hanschell. The rum undergoes an aging process in ex-bourbon casks before being married in ex-oloroso casks, which adds a complex layer of fruit and spice to its profile.
The Cockspur XO rum is renowned for its intricate aroma and taste, with a perfect balance of assertiveness and charm, depth, and elegance. The lengthy aging process in two types of casks creates a rich and harmonious flavor profile, with notes of caramelized banana, raisins, cinnamon, ginger, and creamy vanilla. The finish is long, exotic, and harmonious.
This rum is a true masterpiece, ideal for sipping neat or on the rocks. It has garnered numerous awards in prestigious international competitions, a testament to its quality and craftsmanship. The Cockspur XO Masters Select Rum is a must-try for any rum enthusiast seeking a unique and premium rum experience.
