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. This experience unfolds at the only distillery in Barbados perched on the coastline, offering an unique view of the Caribbean Sea just steps away.

Just right ++!
Such a positive, professional, FUN, and informative experience. The facilities are new, top notch, well maintained. The staff is so personal and professional. Our tasting guide Asha was such a delight...she quickly turned a group of 15 strangers into a fun group...learning about and tasting rum....all with the glorious beach in the background.

Asha was the best guide i think we've ever had on any excursion/experience. She...read more
