More About Cockspur Rum

Barbados is generally considered the birthplace of rum and COCKSPUR Rum was founded there in 1884. With its proud and colorful rooster icon, COCKSPUR has been an integral part of island life for over 125 years. COCKSPUR Rum is distilled from island cane molasses and Barbados’ own coral-filtered water. Using both column-still and pot-still distillation methods, the rum is then aged in American oak bourbon barrels. This combination of aging and blending creates the smooth character for which COCKSPUR is renowned.

COCKSPUR Fine Rum is a golden amber rum and is the flagship brand. COCKSPUR 12 Bajan Crafted Rum is made from the oldest rums kept on reserve at the distillery.
