The Bourbon Lover’s Dream Rum? Old Road Rum St. Kitts

The Oldest Rum Site in the Caribbean? 🥃 St. Kitts Old Road Rum Distillery Tour Celebrate a milestone 60th birthday with us on Part 3 of our Caribbean Rum Trail! Today, we’re stepping back in time at the Old Road Rum Company at Wingfield Estate, St. Kitts—the oldest surviving rum distillery site in the Caribbean, with records dating back to 1681. From navigating the "awkward" taxi situation in St. Kitts to wandering through a lush rainforest filled with monkeys and 400-year-old trees, this was more than a tasting—it was an archeological adventure. We explore the ruins of the 17th-century distillery, uncover the surprising connection to Thomas Jefferson, and learn why 12 years of tropical aging makes this rum a dream for bourbon lovers. Stick around for our full tasting of Old Road Rum Batch 019, where we break down why this "pure" rum (no sugar, no color, no additives) stands up to the best Kentucky Bourbons. ### **Connect With Us & Support The Journey!** 🥃 **Become a Patron & Get Exclusive Content:** https://www.patreon.com/cw/YourBourbonJourney 🌐 **Visit Our Website:** https://yourbourbonjourney.com/ 🔔 **SUBSCRIBE HERE:** https://www.youtube.com/@YourBourbonJourney?sub_confirmation=1 📸 **Instagram:** https://www.instagram.com/yourbourbonjourney/ 👍 **Facebook:** https://www.facebook.com/YourBourbonJourney 🥃 About Old Road Rum * Founder: Jack Widdowson * Age: 12 Years (Tropical Aging) * Proof: 92 * Process: No added sugar, no caramel color, no flavorings. * Casks: Aged in ex-bourbon barrels for a complex, viscous profile. 🎥 VIDEO CHAPTERS 0:00 – Birthday "Rumming" in St. Kitts 0:44 – The St. Kitts Taxi Experience & Local History 1:21 – Exploring Wingfield Estate: Batiking & Rainforest Vibes 2:44 – The 1681 Smokestack: Entering the Ruins 3:32 – The Jefferson Connection & Distillery Heritage 4:51 – Underground Secrets: How Rum Was Made in 1681 5:28 – Tropical Flora: Giant Cotton Plants & Sugarcane 7:57 – Refreshments: Three Tastings 8:14– The Best Rum Old Fashioned Ever? 9:18 – Old Road Rum 12-Year Overview 10:11 – Discussing the Nose: Familiarity 11:23 – Leather, Tobacco, and the Bourbon Connection 14:24 – Tips for Bringing Spirits Back to the USA 🚨REMEMBER TO ALWAYS DRINK RESPONSIBLY🚨 ❓Questions❓ YourBourbonJourney@gmail.com NOTE: The spirit in this review was purchased by us.
