Stade's Rum Old Gregg Fusion 2022
Anyone curious what a Barbados rum tastes like when it leans Jamaican: this blends cane-juice and molasses distillates into something surprisingly funky. Expect pineapple, ripe banana, tropical fruit, esters and a young roasted oak, with a touch of solvent and marzipan. One taster clocked it "between a Jamaican and a Mhoba." A recurring gripe: a sweetness that keeps creeping back.
The community says- Pineapple and esters
- Good ABV integration
- But: Reads sweet

The look inside the bottle
How does Stade's Rum Old Gregg Fusion 2022 taste?
Summarized by AI from 34 community reviews.
Fruity, ester-driven Barbados with a Jamaican tilt Well-liked as a fruity, ester-driven Barbadian oddity with good ABV integration. The catch a few flag: it reads sweet and a little one-dimensional on the nose, and could be more distinctive.

Goûté 2 fois au rhumfest et maintenant en sample. Je l ai préféré au Vulcan. On trouve dans ce rhum barbadien des Esters, beaucoup de fruits tropicaux bien mûrs , des épices douces. L aspect général est fruité funky huileux. J ai trouvé aussi une légère note de massepain. Une bonne impression générale.

#5748 28.09.2025 Day two of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. A pretty OK release especially when looking at the price tag. Fruity with nice wood and ABV integration, still a bit sweet though.

Review by TheRhumhoe
West Indies has more than one still at its distillery, to say the least. This blend has a sweet soft scent, between sugarcane, honey, and pastries, supported by young roasted wood, vanilla, and medicinal nuances on the varnish and esters. Then come the fruits, especially mango, banana, and pineapple. It's a young but creamy profile, accessible and quite innovative for the distillery. On the palate, sweetness dominates with caramel, vanilla, mild spices, ripe tropical fruits, and milky flavors. Some notes of esters and varnish add a medicinal touch that sharpens the profile without stiffening it. The whole is fruity, oily, slightly acidic but very indulgent, with very well integrated alcohol. The finish, of moderate length, is marked by the creaminess of fruity, honeyed, spicy, and medicinal flavors. The little touch of citrus and esters at the end is pleasant. A beautiful product with a good quality-price ratio, showing that Old Gregg still has some good days ahead.

So now I've tried both new releases from Stades. Somehow not my taste at all. I think I won't be a friend of the West Indies anymore. This smoky reminds me always of a whisky. There shouldn't be much more dilution.
Review by Florent Apl
I love the story behind the stills. The nose feels a lot like your classic Jamaican, while on the palate it feels somewhere between a Jamaican and a Mhoba. Nice but could have a more distinctive profile.
Review by TheJackDrop
Pas la peine de vous refaire l'histoire, les amis d'Excellence Rhum nous la serve si bien : "Old Gregg Fusion illustre l’art de l’assemblage en réunissant un rhum de jus de canne, issu du moulin à sucre Harper, et un rhum de mélasse provenant de Port Vale, dernière sucrerie en activité sur l’île. Les deux distillats sont passés par l'alambic pot still Old Gregg, datant du début du XXe siècle, avant un vieillissement et un assemblage réalisés à la Barbade". Là clairement, le cerveau commence à parler jamaïcain hein. Ananas, esters, une certaine acidité. Ca envoie pas mal malgré les 46%. Je compte bien m'en prendre une bouteille aussi. Papa noël si tu m'écoutes, stp fais pas le radin cette fois.
Review by Skyfly
You can taste both the origin, as well as a blend and a dilution. The result of this blend is a smooth, very fruity rum that is great for beginners. It definitely should not have been diluted any stronger.
Review by Johannes
Spannender rum! Ester, aber nicht so fruchtig, mehr Säure, adstringierend.
Review by w00tAN
Endlich Mal wieder was probieren, auch wenn die Bewertungsoptionen irgendwie spinnen. Nase sehr fruchtig und spannend, weiß nicht ob ich auf Anhieb WIRD geschätzt hätte. Im Mund dann fruchtig mit leicht metallischen Noten? Erinnert mich irgendwie an einen Fiji Gefällt mir!
Review by Benoit Mahe
Nice nose on buttery cane and olive. The palate lacks body
Review by EspritRhum
Belle surprise que ce blend pur jus et mélasse. Tout d'abord on sent le côté canne a sucre du pur jus et ensuite les aromes de mélasse. Facile a boire.
Review by Nils123
On the nose, it seems very one-dimensional and sweet to me. Luckily, the taste is a bit more complex with fruit, spices, and wood. Strong pineapple note in the finish, but the sweetness comes back strongly.
Review by Vincent D
Goûté à l'occasion du Rhum Fest Paris 2026. Pas pris suffisamment de notes sur le stand Stade's. Meme profil que maître rhum de la gamme mais plus porté encore sur les esters. J'ai trouvé l'alcool pas très bien intégré et trop piquant.
Review by Adrien B
Nose cane, heavy. Spice.
