We make Barbados Rum.
On Brighton Beach in Barbados, nestled between the ocean and the coral stone walls of our distillery, a unique nursery cultivates yeasts with remarkable aromas. Guided by Dario Jordan, known as 'Papa Yeast,' it's where the true essence behind our rums comes to life.
Cast aside, forgotten and then painstakingly brought back to life by sheer grit and determination, the Rockley Still has all the makings of blockbuster movie script! This 18th-century icon is making a powerful comeback and proves that relentless drive is a difficult thing to beat.
On the windswept plateau of Kendal Estate—first mentioned in 1657 in Richard Ligon’s a True History of Barbados—Stade’s West Indies Rum Distillery has built a new ageing warehouse, where history, terroir and traditional farming meet contemporary innovation.
By naming our mill Harper, we honour the memory of Irenaeus Brathwaite Harper, the man who changed the course of sugar cane history in Barbados. A look back at his discovery, his research, and his legacy.
Driven by a desire to work hand in hand with the West Indies Central Sugar Cane Breeding Station, Maison Ferrand has embarked on a shared journey of learning new sugarcane varieties. Our goal? To work together to discover and open unprecedented horizons in the world of rum.
Deep inside Barbados’ Kendal Farm, a bold initiative is taking root: cultivating coconuts to support sustainable farming for our Planteray Cut & Dry rum. But the project reaches far beyond coconut trees.
As the new year begins, the entire Maison Ferrand team sends you its warmest wishes. May this year be filled with happiness, togetherness, and precious moments with your loved ones.
Maison Ferrand will be present at Rhum Fest Paris from 4 to 6 May 2024 with a programme of masterclasses, as well as an exceptional competition to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the fair, with a unique barrel of Barge 166 up for grabs!
Following an exciting restoration project that began in 2022, Barbados is now home to the world's oldest working pot still, the Rockley!
