Cockspur Rum

Cockspur Rum is a rum beverage from the Eastern Caribbean island nation of Barbados. It has been produced by Hanschell Inniss Ltd. since 1884. It has a rooster as its emblem.
Barbados is the country of origin of rumbullion, as it was originally called in the 18th century. Danish merchant Valdemar Hanschell established a liquor store in the 19th century where the rum was first distilled. Cockspur blends its rum while aging it in oak barrels, and it contains forty percent alcohol by volume.[1]
The rum won the "International Wine and Spirit Competition's" Gold Medal in 1981, 1984, and 1989[citation needed]. Proof66.com listed Cockspur among its "Top 20 rated rums in the world".[2]
Hanschell Inniss sponsored a three-year deal between 1987 and 1990 with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to sponsor the National Club Championship. This was renamed the "Cockspur Cup" for 2004[citation needed].
