How does this rum taste?
S.B.S Barbados 2000 is a limited edition rum from the Mount Gay distillery in Barbados, curated by 1423 World Class Spirits. Distilled in 2000 from molasses using a pot still and aged for 20 years, it presents a complex profile with woody and vanilla aromas. The rum captivates with flavors of tropical fruit and caramel balanced by a spicy undertone. Its high ABV of 53.2% is notable, occasionally critiqued for being overpowering. While woody and smoky notes are appreciated, the blend of vanilla, orange peel, and subtle rubbery hints offers a unique taste. Perfect for collectors, it's recognized for its intricate character and mature depth.

Just finished a nice evening going through some of the samples we got from 1423.
Slightly bitter wood notes meet a pleasantly sweet fruit mix. On the nose, I think a bit of Cointreau. For a better rating, the alcohol should not be so noticeable in the finish.
