Rum Sixty Six Family Reserve was originally just that, a rum reserved for the family! Luckily for us the Seale family, five generations of whom have produced rum at the Foursquare distillery, chose to share this marvellous drop with the rest of us!
A blend of pot and column still rums 'tropically aged' for a minimum of 12 years in American oak barrels. The reference to 'tropical' ageing is included to highlight the fact that due to the warm Bajan climate, the maturation process is taking place faster than it would here in Europe.
