The Old Brothers FWI Foursquare West Indies Barbados Batch No.2 is a distinguished rum that showcases the craftsmanship of the Old Brothers brand. With an alcohol content of 47.1% ABV and a volume of 500 ml, this limited edition rum, with only 1528 bottles produced, is a blend of molasses-based rums hailing from the renowned region of Barbados. This blend incorporates 40% pot-still rum and 60% column-still rum, sourced from two esteemed distilleries: Foursquare, contributing a 3-year-old rum, and West Indies Rum Distillery, with a 5-year-old rum. The aroma of this rum is an inviting bouquet featuring light oakiness and fresh, exotic coconut water. The oak presence is elegant and balanced, avoiding overpowering sweetness. Subtle layers of melted orange peel, banana, and crushed strawberry add a vibrant touch to the nose. On the palate, the rum presents an initial wave of classic, rich, and velvety oakiness that is a hallmark of Barbados rums. This oak profile is tender and moist, enriched with notes of vanilla, coconut, and blond tobacco. As the rum continues to develop, it reveals a more pronounced fruity intensity, merging ripe fruit flavors with honey. This rum undergoes a tropical aging process entirely in American oak barrels that previously held Bourbon, ensuring a natural color and the absence of cold filtration. The result is a well-balanced and flavorful rum that epitomizes the unique characteristics of Barbados rums. Its aroma and flavor profile, featuring a delightful blend of oak, fruit, and sweetness, make it an excellent choice for rum enthusiasts.
