S.B.S. Antigua 8 Year Old Rum 2015 – Bourbon & Marsala Cask – Single Barrel Selection 55%

S.B.S. Antigua 8 Year Rum 2015 is a rare and characterful rum from the popular Single Barrel Selection series from Danish 1423. This exclusive bottling is selected as a single cask and bottled in a very limited number of bottles, making it a coveted rum among collectors and enthusiasts. Distilled in Antigua in 2015 and bottled in August 2024 after 8 years of maturation in carefully selected casks.

This rum was first aged in classic bourbon barrels, which provide depth, vanilla and warm notes, and then added complexity from marsala casks. The combination creates an intense and aromatic rum with layers upon layers of flavor. At 55% strength, the rum is powerful and authentic, just the way rum lovers want it – unfiltered and full of character.

The S.B.S. range is known for highlighting the pure style of each distillery and cask. That’s why these rums are bottled without unnecessary adjustments, so you get a true taste experience straight from the cask. The result is a complex rum where both the elegance of the Antigua distillate and the barrel aging play a distinct role.

Tasting notes

The aroma opens with notes of caramel, vanilla and roasted nuts from the bourbon casks, combined with dark fruit and light vinous notes from the marsala cask. The taste is rich and intense with notes of brown sugar, dried fruits, spices and a hint of chocolate. The finish is long, warm and complex with elegant sweetness and spicy depth.
