Rum Barbados Saint Lucy

This rum is 20 years old, was distilled with “a double retort pot still” and matured in an ex-bourbon cask with tropical and continental aging.

Our choice was to maintain the absolute authenticity of this rum, without flavourings, added sugars and colourings, and the result is a unique and precious spirit to be tasted by closing your eyes.

The oldest and most legendary rum in the world, it was produced in Barbados with passion and skill, thus earning the title of “rum that invented rum”. Expertly crafted with rich sugar cane and pristine, coral-filtered water native to the island.

Natural yeasts marry with the family stock. At the hillside site of St. Lucy they simply open the doors to the Bajan air and let nature take its course, populating the wort with yeast to get the sugars converted into alcohol. The art of rum blossoms during the distillation process. Here, the secrets of generations materialize like rum vapors rising above the water in copper stills. The alembic produces intense aromas and flavors deriving from the double distillation.

Cask number 12 only produced 256 bottles. During bottling, the distillate did not undergo cold filtration and was not adulterated.
