The island that made rum

Eleven parishes.
One island.

The brand in the glass — the eleven parishes of Barbados, poured for the world. Pure Barbados rum, aged in oak, nothing added.

The liquid

Pure rum, aged in oak

Our unflavoured rums — Black and Silver — carry no added sugar, no colouring, no flavouring: the colour and character come from the cask. Bajan Cherry is different by design — real Bajan cherries, never artificial flavouring, with a measured sweetness. Natural ingredients across the range.

Tropical aging

Aged on the island, where the climate works the cask harder and every year counts double.

Nothing added

Black and Silver: rum and oak, nothing else — the colour and the finish are earned, not added. Cherry: real fruit, declared sweetness, nothing artificial.

Blended in Barbados

Developed and blended by rum people, on the spirit’s home soil — the value stays on the island.

Provenance & supply

Four houses, one island

A Barbados supply platform that is hard to replicate — stocks and relationships across the island’s great houses.

Mount Gay

Proposed — aged rum supply and bespoke development.

Foursquare

Proposed — Bajan Cherry production and selected aged rum.

St Nicholas Abbey

Proposed — limited aged rum for premium expressions.

Hopewell

Proposed — small-batch, emerging-distillery provenance.

Following recent discussions on the island, agreements with all four houses are in development. Roles shown are proposed; nothing is final, and nothing is announced, before the agreement is signed.
