Rockley Still 1986 Liquid Gold Caribbean Reserve Single Cask - bottled 2002

The wine

A rum distilled in 1986 in Barbados by the West India Rum Distillery. It is named Rockley Still after a small copper still once used to make rum at the Rockley plantation, which was transferred to the West India Rum Distillery at the start of the 20th century. Now inactive, the still’’s name is kept for rums produced by the West India Rum Distillery in a similar style. This rum was bottled in Scotland in 2002 for Douglas Laing’’s Liquid Gold range and imported to Italy by Rinaldi. Douglas Laing was founded in 1948 by Fred Douglas Laing, primarily as a blending company but also as an independent bottler, an activity which grew over the years. When Fred Douglas Laing died in 1982, his two sons Fred and Stewart took over the business. Stewart left in 2013 to set up Hunter Laing. Douglas Laing is today managed by Fred Laing and his daughter Cara.
