Cockspur Rum
Cockspur Rum is a rum brand that originated in Barbados, a country known for its rich history of rum production. The brand is named after the island's national bird, the Cockspur, which is featured prominently on the label.
History
Cockspur Rum was established in 1884 by Valdemar Hanschell, a Danish seafarer and ship chandler. Hanschell's business thrived in the bustling port of Bridgetown, where sailors would often stop to resupply their ships and purchase local rum. Recognizing the demand for high-quality rum, Hanschell founded the Cockspur Rum Company, which quickly gained a reputation for producing some of the finest rums in the Caribbean.
Production
Cockspur Rum is produced at the West Indies Rum Distillery, one of the oldest operating distilleries in the Caribbean. The rum is made from molasses, a byproduct of sugar production, and is aged in American oak barrels to develop its distinctive flavor. The distillery uses a combination of traditional pot stills and modern column stills to produce a variety of rums, ranging from light and smooth to rich and full-bodied.

Cockspur Rum offers a range of products, including:
- Cockspur Fine Rum: A light, golden rum that is aged for a minimum of two years. It is known for its smooth, mellow flavor and is often used in cocktails.
