The S.B.S Jamaica Barbados is a high-quality single cask bottling from the esteemed S.B.S (Single Barrel Selection) brand. This exclusive release, limited to just 295 bottles, was bottled in October 2021. It represents a unique blend of Jamaican pot still rum and Barbados column still rum, each adding its distinct character to the final product. The Jamaican rum, distilled in traditional alembics, imparts intense and deep flavors, while the Barbados rum, distilled in columns, brings smoothness and refinement. This exceptional rum has been aged in a tropical climate within ex-bourbon barrels, resulting in a rich and full-bodied spirit. The Jamaican component is noted for its dried banana and blond tobacco profile, complemented by woody and spicy flavors, with a touch of alcohol that playfully tickles the taste buds. Meanwhile, the Barbados rum adds a roasted character that leaves a lasting impression on the palate. Upon aeration, the rum reveals additional layers of complexity, with notes of red fruits, black berries, and a slight powdery and coppery nuance. On the palate, one can enjoy a fruity and indulgent rum, typical of the English style, featuring overripe exotic fruits and pastry-like flavors. This carefully selected cask and the masterful blend of two distinct rum styles culminate in a unique and complex flavor profile. Bottled without cold filtration, this rum retains maximum flavor, making it a must-try for rum enthusiasts seeking a unique and distinguished choice.
