BP Barbados 2001 Mount Gay 24yr 49.4% ABV
$265.00
Yes, we bottled another rum from Barbados. No, it is not a Foursquare. Surprise! This unnamed distillery situated in Saint Lucy parish (and visitors can start in Saint Michael parish), Barbados, remains a powerful presence in rum-making. A towering presence in the rum world with a distinct offering, we were very excited to bring this bottling to Bedford Park palates.
The rum was distilled in 2001 and aged at origin for five years before being shipped to the continent for maturation in a once used bourbon barrel.
The label by @kathlobo is for our new “Cuisine” series and showcases one of our favourite dishes to prepare together, dumplings. From preparation to indulgence, there’s something about getting together to create and share that combines our love of food, spirits and art and Kath has captured this perfectly.
This single barrel rum is non-chill filtered with no additives, yielding 256 bottles at a cask strength of 49.4% ABV.

Pombe yeast trademark notes of floral eucalyptus and apricot but with new refined flavors of wild honey, white pepper and a dry matchstick finish. He’s more balanced, but still a BEAST! -

Burning Cane (15 yr Barbados Foursquare)
$49.99We jumped all over this cask instantly – currently there isn’t a hotter distillery in rum than Foursquare and its hype as “The Pappy Van Winkle of rum” is fully deserved: Powerful and multi-dimensional yet very approachable, even for rum newbies. Some single cask Foursquares trade for four figures … but our Burning Cane gets you cask strength world class juice at an impressive 15 years of aging for less than $50. At the time of this bottle’s release we compared this to Foursqaure’s vaunted Exceptional Cask Series – it would have ranked #1 for highest ABV and #3 for longest aging.
Cask strength Foursquare of this age can be a seductive gateway to fine rum, with fragrant summer fruit notes to grab cognac aficionados & the caramel intensity and oaky backbone to pull in whiskey fans. This cask’s luscious kettle corn opening evolves to a prolonged tree bark and gingerbread cookie finish.
