Neptune Rum Barbados Gold
This really exceptional rum is a mixture of rums that have matured for three, five and eight years. It is made from pure molasses and sugar cane. It was distilled in the Foursquare distillery in Barbados and also matures in Foursquare, in American bourbon barrels. This is very important in terms of the effect of tropical ripening in warm climates.
Barbados' climate provides the right conditions for oak barrels to soak into rum. It matures in cottages at a temperature of 27 °C. The final stage of production involves a specific cold filtration process and the addition of soft spring water to dilute the rum from 68 % to 40 %. It is then transported to the United Kingdom, where it is filled into bottles without added dyes and sugar.
