8.8/10

18.11.2005 at this wonderful hotel at the waterfront in Shanghai. Notes. Wonder where the bottle came from. Beautiful dark colour. Woody with herbs and spices. Nice smoky touch. Oily and warm palate and overall good balance.

7.8/10

Nice Rockley profile even if it is 16yo. Unfortunately just 46%, so the taste is little bit weak

8.0/10

Nose: scotch tape, glue, synthetic, tar, rubber, plastic, eucalyptus, allspice. Some delicate yellow fruits. Palate: Smooth, fruity, spicy. Some pears, peaches, spices, combined with synthetic, plastic, tar, rubber. But this eucalyptus note is great. Aftertaste: long. really lot of tar, rubber, glue, some spices, ginger and of course – eucalyptus. Conclusion: I would never have thought about Barbados, if I have blind taste. Very untipical.

Expert reviews

2 critics scored it, averaging 8.4/10. Reviews from RumX's blog partners, independent experts who have tasted, evaluated, and described this rum.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate

It definitely improves as you get more acquainted with it. It isn't quite as raw and heavy as the Rum Swedes Barbados 2000 - the Sherry finish has smoothed those notes a little but without totally masking them. I find this Rockley Still slightly better. And the score reflects this.

Avg Rating 7.7/10 over 250 Rums

The West Indies Rum Distillery is the giant hiding behind Barbados rum. Founded in 1893, it brought column distillation to the island and today distils an estimated 80 to 85 percent of all Barbados rum. Since 2017 it has been the Barbados home of Planteray, called Plantation until 2024, yet most of what it makes reaches you under other names.
