The Tres Hombres rum brand is the creation of three passionate individuals who combine their love of sailing and rum. As an independent bottler, Tres Hombres transports rum from various distilleries worldwide to Europe using their own sailing ship. The Tres Hombres Rum Edition 040 Captain's Choice Barbados Vintage 2007 is part of the exclusive Captain's Choice series, featuring unique and limited edition rums housed in colorful stoneware bottles.
Released in 2020, following a lengthy aging process, the Tres Hombres Rum Edition 040 was distilled in 2007 by the esteemed Foursquare Distillery in Barbados, where it was aged for over a decade. Subsequently, it was transported aboard the Tres Hombres sailing ship from Barbados to Amsterdam, where it spent six months aging in former brandy casks. This meticulous process ensured the rum developed its distinctive character and flavor.
The rum was crafted by Richard Seale of the Foursquare Distillery, who entrusted one of his brandy casks filled with rum to the Tres Hombres sailors. This cask traveled 5950 nautical miles before arriving in Amsterdam, where it was bottled. The bottle features artwork by Lynx Guimond, who also designed the figurehead of the boat and carved the intricate woodwork on board.
This molasses rum from Barbados was distilled in both stills and columns at the Foursquare distillery. It aged for 13 years in its country of origin before undergoing a dynamic aging process during a 6-month transatlantic crossing. The result is an authentic and high-quality rum from Barbados that has experienced a journey across the Atlantic aboard the Tres Hombres ship.
