Perkins & Sons Rum
Perkins & Sons spirits are all distilled from molasses by traditional Bajan processes.
Our rums start as short-fermented wash which is column and pot distilled before aging in ex-bourbon American white oak, sometimes with an exotic cask finish of sherry, port etc., and then blended to perfection.
Centuries ago we perfected molasses distillation in Barbados and its smoothness is evident in all of our expressions.
Old Mill Rum is blended from mature, oak-aged Barbados distilled spirits in our finest tradition.
It is a light, smooth uncomplicated rum with a slightly fruity nose.
Best enjoyed neat over ice, for those longer rum days simple mixers such as carbonated water or tap water will do the rum and drinker no harm.
When Barbadians gather, rum is often involved; we share that culture with the earliest settlers of the island who brought us the 'art of the still' from Ireland and Scotland.
​
However, we at Perkins & Sons understand that not everyone parties like a Bajan and for the rum lovers who enjoy just a drink or two, we bring you our newest blend: 75.
​
With well-balanced age and depth-of-flavour, this 12 Year Old blend celebrates the 75th anniversary of our founder Ivan Perkins' rum business and is best enjoyed neat, with or without ice.
Clues to our latest expression lie in the Sublime label. The gold represents the column and pot distilled blend, which has been short-aged in ex-bourbon white oak casks, and the black surround represents the charcoal that filters it to nearly-clear. We don’t like to suggest what you should be tasting from any of our bottles but sublime is smooth enough to be enjoyed all day long over a glass full of ice and the lightest of mixers.
