Each Plantation Rum Extreme bottle is rare and exceptional collector´s item. We select these rums for their incomparable quality and bottle them straight from the cask, to capture their remarkable character. The Extreme Series 5 spotlights three limited editions, all distilled at West Indies Rum Distillery in Barbados, the island where rum was born. These expressions - from 1986, 2000 and 2007 - are ambassadors of Barbados´ ebullient culture of rum.
West Indies Rum Distillery was founded on Brighton Beach in 1893 by George Stade, a genius inventor whose dream was to make the world´s best rum. His secrets are preserved in archieves in the Distiller´s vault at W.I.R.D. Today, Alexandre Gabriel, Plantation Rum Master Blender revives this spirit of innovation with a constant stream of experiments in fermentation, distillation and ageing, exploring ancestral techniques with fresh eyes.
Plantation Rum Extreme Series V proudly features artwork by Barbadian artist Alex Mars, whose vibrant images captures the creative of energy of Barbados.
