Rolling Fork Spirits Toasted Bourbon Cask Barbados 9 Year Rum Review
Single barrel, cask strength, and bottled in Indiana — no, this is not a bourbon, but it will certainly satisfy enthusiasts of America’s native spirit. Sourced from Barbados' Foursquare distillery, this rum spends 8 years maturing in ex-bourbon casks, followed by a final year of refinement on American soil. The bourbon influence takes center stage, presenting an array of robust vanilla and caramel aromas, beautifully contrasted by whisps of coconut and rich red fruit. This release is nothing short of remarkable.
