Description

Good to Know

Immerse yourself in the rich legacy of Barbados rum at West Indies Rum Distillery, a historic gem founded in 1893 by the visionary George Stade. Our distillery stands as a testament to passion and craftsmanship, where the acclaimed Planteray Rum and Stade’s Rum come to life. Begin your exploration in "Pot Still Alley," a unique enclave boasting our collection of historic stills, including the world's oldest surviving pot still. Traverse the grounds of our Distiller’s Vault, a treasure trove of recipes, blueprints, and experiments spanning decades. Observe the daily alchemy of our distillery, where our teams meticulously craft Stade’s and Planteray rums. The odyssey continues in our Ageing Bond warehouse, where you'll indulge in a tasting straight from the barrel, followed by a sampling of four rums on our Brighton Beach look-out deck.

Great experience

Our tour guide, Asha, was exceptional. Informative, lively, and disappointingly good at dominos! And the same birthday as my daughter! The tour was really interesting and the rum tasting excellent (as far as I can remember).

You will come away knowing rum!!!

This tour was brilliant from start to finish. Asha the guide was fun, knowledgeable and full of enthusiasm. I don't want to give away any spoilers but this is an authentic tour with sounds, smells and tastes giving you that genuine feel of a truly great experience.

Definitely the Best rum tour and tasting in Barbodas!

We have toured several rum distilleries in the Caribbean. This one is by far the Best! You actually get to go into a working distillery and see production in progress. Our guide Asha was extremely knowledgeable, courteous and has a great sense of humor. She was great to interact with and made our tour of the facility and the rum tasting outstanding! Afternoon in paradise well spent.
