Tasting Notes

Probitas is a blended, unfiltered white rum produced by Foursquare Rum Distillery in Saint Philip, Barbados, in collaboration with Hampden Estate in Trelawny, Jamaica. The first direct collaboration in history between distilleries from two different Caribbean islands, Probitas is a game changer in the white rum category.⁠ Unaged pot still Jamaican rum from Hampden Estate is blended with an unaged twin column Coffey still rum and a 2-year pot still rum, both produced by Foursquare. Translated from Latin, Probitas means honesty, and accordingly, this rum is produced with adherence to the proposed Barbados Rum G.I.: without added sugar, flavoring, color, or any other adulterations.

Anchored by Foursquare’s signature warm confection, Hampden’s ester-forward rum makes its presence known, lending high-toned fruit esters from nose to finish. Cascading aromas of tropical fruit and baking spice highlight plantain, mascarpone, and strawberry. The palate is uncategorically robust and luscious, showing grassy, underripe mango, coconut oil, and marzipan with black pepper, allspice, and grilled pineapple on the finish. A white rum you can (and should) sip neat but with the proof to stand up to any application, Probitas is destined to become your new favorite cocktail rum. Non-chill filtered; 47% ABV.

"This white blended rum marries the spirits of two highly-regarded distilleries in the Caribbean: Foursquare in Barbados and Hampden Estate in Jamaica. Fruity and sweet, with just the right amount of Jamaican funk, this rum is perfectly balanced and a standout in any collection. We're sure Hemingway would have been quite pleased to enjoy this expression in his own Daiquiris."
