Cockspur 12 Handcrafted Bajan Rum (700ml)

Cockspur Rum is a blended rum created by Valdemar Hanschell who in 1884 settled in Barbados and founded a ship chandlery which supplied ships traveling the Caribbean with rope, sails, salt, fruit, meat and rum. 

Cockspur is produced from Barbadian molasses, a unique yeast culture and water sourced from an underwater spring. This unique yeast strain and water source is said to give Cockspur it's distinctive character. The 'mash' is distilled in two types of still, the 'continuous' or column still and the traditional copper pot still. Both stills are employed to add complexity, as the column still produces a fine, light, elegant rum whilst copper pot stills produce a 'heartier' spirit. Once distilled, Cockspur is matured in small ex-bourbon American oak barrels. Cockspur 12 is a blend of rums at least twelve years of age.

Tasting Note: Rich amber color. Robust sweet toffee, roasted nut, and brown spice aromas. A rich entry leads to a dry-yet fruity full-bodied palate with buttery caramel, roasted nuts, dried fruit and spice flavors. Finishes with a very long, toffee, brown spice, and cigar box fade with a touch of limestone. Superb. 40.0% Alc./Vol. Rated: 93 points (Exceptional) - www.tastings.com
