Product description
The Danish company 1423 World Class Spirits was founded in 2008 by a group of Scotch whisky enthusiasts after they were given a sample of excellent quality rum to try at a whisky festival.
The suspicion then arose that, beyond whisky, there was an incredibly interesting world of rum worth exploring in depth. It all started with a single barrel of rum from Trinidad, which hit the market in early 2009. The acronym SBS stands for "single barrel select", which the Danish bottler has specialised in ever since. The number 1423 in the company's name is the number of the first barrel they bottled. 1423 World Class Spirits quickly gained recognition as a distributor of high-quality rare rums, often offered in cask strength, without caramel colouring.
SBS Trinidad 1993 The Beast #2 is the second edition of the rum dubbed "the beast". It comes from an undisclosed distillery in Trinidad, made from molasses and distilled in a column still. It spent 28 years in a single bourbon barrel, and was bottled in October 2021 in a limited edition of only 222 bottles.
Aroma : Initial notes of alcohol and chemicals (varnishes) give way to deep accents of dried dates, plums and gingerbread.
Taste : Heavy accents of charcoal and rubber give way to herbal notes and a touch of salt.
Finish : Long and intense.
