Bristol Classic Rums, founded by renowned rum connoisseur John Barrett, is a UK-based independent bottler celebrated for sourcing and ageing exceptional rums from across the globe. With a focus on authenticity, terroir, and cask-driven complexity, Bristol Classic Rums hand-selects rare and characterful spirits from the Caribbean and beyond, maturing them under optimal conditions before bottling without chill filtration or artificial additives. Each release reflects a commitment to traditional rum-making, provenance, and unadulterated expression.

Distilled in 2013 at Trinidad Distillers Limited (TDL) using a column still, this rum was matured for 8 years before being bottled in 2021 at 43% ABV. The result is a refined spirit that embodies the rich heritage and complexity characteristic of Bristol’s selections.

In the glass, it presents a medium golden hue, indicative of its maturation. The nose offers an inviting bouquet of fruity and sweet notes, with crisp apple and vanilla, creating a harmonious and enticing aroma. On the palate, it delivers a well-balanced profile, featuring a spicy, full-bodied wave of toffee, cardamom, and citrus, culminating in a smooth and lingering finish.
