Review #1427; Rum #726

Here we have a bottling of rum from the Flag Series, a bottling lime from LMDW that seeks to hold up the rums of Countries. This Barbados rum was distilled in 2011 in St.Philip Barbados as a pot and column blend from molasses. It aged for 8 years in the tropics in ex-bourbon and 6 years in Europe before being bottled at cask strength with no additives.  This is a single cask for the USA

This is a very good example of rum from Barbados. Well balanced, good flavor, that vanilla pop is quite nice. This release doesn’t quite rise to the other Barbados rums I’ve had but its still very good.
