S.B.S. – Single Barrel Selection
1423 - World Class Spirits is a premium spirits importer that started back in 2008. 1423's head office is located in Ringe, and is home to hundreds of rum barrels. This was a hobby project from the start, but has since become a big business. In addition to the many barrels of rum, they also bring many different distillers to Europe, as well as their passion for rum through one of the S.B.S. Own brands such as 1423, which are single barrels from all over the world. Over the last 4 years alone, more than 50 different expressions, of different rum styles and origins, have already been released.
All expressions are bottled at high ABVs, some at cask strength. 1423's rum is either sourced directly from distilleries or from a rum broker, after which the barrels are sent to Denmark, where they are stored in their own warehouse. Depending on the available rum and casks, every now and then they decide to fill the rum into a new cask to give it a finish that suits the rum's flavor profile. Here, each barrel is inspected individually and remains in their warehouse until they judge that the rum is of top quality. Once the rum reaches this peak, it is hand-bottled in their warehouse, completing the cycle of the craft in a way they see fit.
