Cockspur 12 Bajan-Crafted Rum is made from the oldest rums kept on reserve at our distillery outside Bridgetown, Barbados. Following initial aromas of dried tropical fruits, the quality barrel aging becomes evident with bourbon-like whiskey notes, toffee, rich vanilla and powerful oak.

Cockspur Fine Rum has a brilliant golden amber colour and a mixture of aromas: brown sugar, butter rum, dried fruit and island spices. Its rich, full and smooth body leaves a beautiful, lingering taste of gentle oak and warm spice. Cockspur Fine is great combined with your favourite mixers or in cocktails and is equally enjoyed on the rocks.

The nose of Valentine Vodka is strong ethyl alcohol – smells like household cleaner and lemon. The entry has a nice hint of sweetness to it that brings out a more pronounced spicy mid-palate. It falls apart at the tail end of the mid-palate with an unbalanced structure and a surprisingly long finish with a wicked burn. Valentine Vodka has one of the more unpleasant finishes we’ve tasted in a vodka.
Oola gin has a complex and aromatic nose of citrus and rose perfectly balanced with a subtle scent of juniper berry. On the palate the citrus and floral notes come through first followed by coriander and cardamom on the mid-palate. The lengthy finish shows hints of caramel and vanilla, reminding us that this gin was made with a base of Oola Vodka.
