BARBADOS
Cooled by trade winds and set on coral limestone, the island carries a rum culture where blending is a discipline: molasses fermentation, then pot- and column-still distillates as two voices, matured tropically and shaped by climate. Fermentation length, yeast choices, and ex-bourbon casks set structure, while tropical aging makes the angel’s share a constant variable. To understand rum here is to read not just still charts, but the microclimate of the warehouses. Modernity standardized much, yet the signature remains craft-led: retorts, columns, blends, and an aging process that thinks faster in tropical heat.BARBADOS
