Solid entry-level Barbados rum, shines especially in cocktails.

Straightforward Barbados flavours—caramel, coconut, and a bit of young wood—with a mellow, unpretentious style. One to try if you enjoy easy mixing or need a no-fuss sipper.

    How does this rum taste?

    Super Einstieg­srum!
    Klassischer Barbados Rum
    typische Barbados Merkmale... Kokosnuss, Vanille, Karamell

    This 8-year-old Barbados rum, selected by The Bottle Shop, circles around familiar territory—think caramel, coconut, young wood, and just enough citrus and dried fruit to keep your nose interested. As Christian Rudt puts it, "typische Barbados Merkmale... Kokosnuss, Vanille, Karamell" are dialed in, and that relaxed 48% ABV lands it in easy-sipping territory (or makes it, as Oliver suggests, “hervorragend als Komponente für hochwertige Cocktails"). The mouthfeel ranges from light oily to a bit thin, with most pointing to a short, slightly alcoholic finish and a bit more charm in mixing than sipping. After some rest in the glass, citrus and tropical notes peek through, making this a flexible choice for newcomers or cocktail enthusiasts.

     Edit: für den Preis wirklich ein guter Rum. Tolle Auswahl von Stefan. Um ehrlich zu sein, ist der Rum kein wirkliches Feuerwerk. Habe diesen sowohl pur als auch als Mixer probiert. Pur wirkt er auf mich ein bißchen dünn und es fehlt ein wenig die Komplexität. Als Mixer ist er aber recht süffig. Als Fazit kann man für den Preis nichts falsch machen. Definitiv auch als Einsteigerrum geeignet.

     Entspannter Barbados-Rum mit super Preis-Genuss-Verhältnis. Eignet sich damit hervorragend als Komponente für hochwertige Cocktails.

     #5246 16.04.2025 Tasting with Fabian in Blåvand. Nose Fresh, fruity, light citrus, faint coconut, light caramel, light wood, faint roasted, light raisin. Palate Light oily, faint wood, fruity, light caramel, faint citrus, light pineapple, light caramel. Finish Medium to long, warm, light oily, light wood, light coconut, light caramel. Needs to rest for a while or hand warm it to really open up and settle the ABV.

     Puh … also zum pur trinken ist er definitiv nix. Aber ich glaube, dass das zu dem Preis ja auch niemand wirklich erwartet. Hab ihm auf einem Kurztrip mit Family dabei und werde ihn definitiv daheim in nem Cocktail probieren.
