KLUBB23 EGGSCUSES Rum 2007

This KLUBB23 bottling presents a 2007 Barbados rum in the recognisable Foursquare mould, the island's strict no additives pot and column style. Aged sixteen years and offered at full strength 50.8%, it is a single, full proof selection of the familiar distillery character.

Matured in ex-bourbon oak, it leads with clear coconut, vanilla and toasted oak, the palate woody and coconut rich with a natural sweetness, the finish carrying vanilla, cocoa and warm spice. The column still side keeps it from feeling heavy, the alcohol well integrated despite the proof. It reads as a solid, easygoing take on the Barbadian profile, more straightforward than the showier single casks but tasty and comfortable, the kind of relaxed neat pour that rewards a quiet evening rather than close analysis.
