Other notes
- The SMWS has issued a few WIRD rums, the R.3 series…I’ve tried R 3.4 and R 3.5. The Samaroli 1986 20 YO Barbados Rum review also has some background information on the distillery and its stills, and I have one last 1986 vintage from Rensburger to write about.
- The Fat Rum Pirate’s 2016 review is here, and reddit had a shortform review just a couple of months ago.
I was quite disappointed in this. I expected more funk. The sherry influence seems to be more dominant in this one. I hope to try an ex bourbon Rockley in the future.
Why would you expect more funk from a Barbados rum?
The influence of the sherry seems to be a point of contention. Other reviewers thought it was strong; I actually didn’t.
Minor ramblings of a less educated rum drinker. While happy with Foursquare there is still a part of me that wishes for funkier Bajan rum.
