S.B.S Barbados PX Cask Finish 2000
One member nailed the smell: charcoal on the grill, marshmallows over the flame, a pine forest in winter, with a big pile of dried fruit behind it. This is a 21-year Barbados pot still from WIRD, smoky and woody with cigar and pepper on the finish. The PX finish divides people — some find it well-integrated, others say it flattens the classic Rockley smoke-and-honey.
The community says- Smoky dried fruit
- Cigar finish

The look inside the bottle
How does S.B.S Barbados PX Cask Finish 2000 taste?
Aggregated from 15 community reviews.
Smoky, woody Barbados with a PX twist Most enjoy the smoky, dried-fruit, cigar profile, but several wish the PX finish were lighter and the ABV higher. Liked, not loved — and clearly atypical for Barbados.

Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Maybe the sample wasn't the right one because I'm not getting much px here. It is very enjoyable though (my surroundings help much). Overal it's a subtly and lightly flavoured yet greatly balanced. Some cigar/cognac-esque flavours. Coffee/mocha. Bay leaf. Very good. Love it.
Review by Christoph
It's Advent, there's charcoal on the grill, I'm sitting in a pine forest, I'm holding marshmallows over the grill. This scenery describes the smell very well. There's plenty of dried fruit to go along with it. On the finish I have something smoky and cigar. The sherry finish is present, but does not dominate in my opinion.
Review by DomM
PX finish and 2000 WIRD does work well overall. However I do prefer the plain, unaltered versions of this rum.

Very Special
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I think that the flaw in this rum is the ABV if it would have been higher I'm pretty sure this would be a great rum. The Baja profile is there and so is the PX cask finish. I do like the smoky wood on the profile and the rubber note is kind of nice too.
Review by SaibotZtar
Quite solid... but the finish is unnecessary in my eyes
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
The nose is very atypical of our landmarks of Barbados and its greediness! Here it is Dried fruits/Toasted/Marshmallow The mouth is creamy and pulls on the woody, smoky and like a touch of olive. The finish is on peppery chocolate/cigar. The Sherry finish is only slightly present. Blind, impossible to think of La Barbades. Very specific tasting rum and less rum of greed.
