Bedford Park Westerhall Estate Single Barrel Grenada Rum 1996

Sipped neat, this drinks far younger and lighter than 27 years suggests — almost no dark, heavy oak, which surprises everyone who tries it. Several tasters keep landing on the same comparison: it reads like a Foursquare. Vanilla, coconut, orange peel and roasted nuts, with a cocoa-coffee bitterness on the finish. Clean and easy, if not especially deep.

The community says
  • Oily citrus-nut palate
  • Easy at 56%
  • But: Light for its age

The look inside the bottle

How does Bedford Park Westerhall Estate Single Barrel Grenada Rum 1996 taste?

Summarized by AI from 17 community reviews.

Clean, Foursquare-like aged Grenada sipper Well-liked but the recurring note is honest: for 27 years old it's surprisingly tame and one-dimensional. Most enjoy the clean citrus-and-nut profile; a few wanted more from the age.

Perfect for

fans of clean, dry aged sipping rum

Less suitable for

anyone expecting deep, dark old-cask character

Again a lot of wood influence with vanilla notes. Unfortunately, not much else happens.

#1822 14-08-2026 - Rate 9.0 Have tried many New Bedford Park bottles the past few months. Really high quality almost all of them. And this Grenada Westerhall is no different. Many of Bedford’s labels are really good. But this one looks like a old whisky label.

Aged rum 

Avg Rating 8.0/10 over 15,000 Rums

Aged rum is where the spirit earns its complexity. In a tropical warehouse a barrel loses 6 to 10 percent of its contents to evaporation every year, which is why an 8-year Caribbean rum can taste deeper than a 20-year Scotch. This page gathers every rum on RumX that has spent real time in wood, with community ratings to separate the genuinely mature from the merely dark.
