The Compagnie des Indes 2007 Barbados 10yo is a distinguished rum hailing from the renowned Foursquare distillery in Barbados, one of the most celebrated distilleries in the world. This exquisite rum was distilled in December 2007 and aged for 10 years before being bottled in France in July 2018, without cold filtration. With an ABV of 43% and limited to only 376 bottles, this exclusive release is a testament to the craftsmanship of the Compagnie Des Indes brand. At first nosing, the aroma presents itself as light and fruity, with a slightly acidic undertone. This initial fragrance is atypical for rums from Foursquare, suggesting a lighter rum with a dominant column still distillate. The tutti-frutti candy notes evolve into richer, spicier nuances, yet the candy-like essence remains, accompanied by a powerful solvent-like note reminiscent of nail polish remover. This intriguing aroma leaves one pondering whether this is a heavy or a light rum. As the rum aerates, the acidic solvent notes mellow, though a subtle floral note lingers in the background. On this new aromatic stage, white nuts come to the forefront, offering a rich but fresh creaminess. The fruitiness gradually re-emerges in the form of a syrupy fruit salad (pears) and later as mature, patinated dried fruits. Upon tasting, the rum reveals a savory onset. A more pronounced Barbadian profile emerges, characterized by white oak, vanilla, and coconut. The dried orange peel, a signature of this style, connects the rum's most fruity nose notes. The mid-palate experiences a return of acidulated sweetness, maintaining a light and playful character throughout. The rum’s aging process began in the tropical climate of Barbados before being transferred to France for further maturation and bottling. The Foursquare distillery, established in 1996 by the Seale family, is known for producing high-quality rums without added flavorings or colorings. The Compagnie des Indes 2007 Barbados 10yo is a unique and complex rum with a flavor profile combining citrus, floral notes, and nuts, making it a must-try for any rum enthusiast.
