Barbados rums

[ctgm]

As I have mentioned on previous threads I think it a shame that Barbados doesn't produce some top top quality rums. They do make nice ones but they all seem to me a little on the commercial side. Are there any out there that I have missed???

It seems that their is mixed opinions whether Mount Gay Extra Old or Cockspur VSOR is better but I presonally prefer Doorly's XO to both of them, and I am enjoying the bottle that I picked up for B$26 (US$13) in the supermarket.

It is hard to find but there are some Old Brigand rums blended and bottled by RL Seale, who also does the Doorly's brand that are worth looking for.

Some independant bottlers have some great Barbados Rum. Samaroli and Cadenhead are just 2 of them. These are straight from the cask, with just some non chilled filtering. No caramel added. They should be available in the US or via internet. Otherwise I can help you with some bottles.
