Rolling Fork 9 Years Aged Single Cask Barbados Cask Strength Rum

Rolling Fork Spirits is an independent rum bottler based in Starlight, Indiana, that buys single casks from named distilleries and bottles them at cask strength, non-chill filtered, with no additives or coloring. This one is a 9-year-old from Foursquare Distillery in Barbados, the distillery run by Richard Seale that has become the reference point for honest, unsweetened Caribbean rum. The rum is distilled from molasses on Foursquare's pot and column stills, aged about eight years in the tropics in ex-bourbon barrels, then shipped to Indiana and finished for 12 to 24 months in an American whiskey cask; Rolling Fork rotates the finishing barrel between wheated bourbon, high-rye bourbon, rye whiskey and toasted bourbon casks, and the exact strength varies by cask, typically in the mid-50s ABV. The importer's notes list vanilla, citrus, faint oak and baking spice on the nose with toasted coconut, cedar and dark red fruit on the palate, and VinePair scored it 94 points, calling out robust vanilla and caramel with coconut and red fruit. Foursquare at this age and proof usually costs considerably more under European labels, which is why these casks sell through quickly.
