Our distillery stands as a testament to passion and craftsmanship, where the acclaimed Planteray Rum and Stade’s Rum come to life. Begin your exploration in "Pot Still Alley," a unique enclave boasting our collection of historic stills, including the world's oldest surviving pot still. Traverse the grounds of our Distiller’s Vault, a treasure trove of recipes, blueprints, and experiments spanning decades. Observe the daily alchemy of our distillery, where our teams meticulously craft Stade’s and Planteray rums. The odyssey continues in our Ageing Bond warehouse, where you'll indulge in a tasting straight from the barrel, followed by a sampling of four rums on our Brighton Beach look-out deck.
