A trio of natural amphitheatres carved from the southward-facing rainforest ridge that flanks Old Bacolet.

Only a slender stream and a screen of bamboo separates it from its sister farm, Old Bacolet, yet New Bacolet’s character could scarcely be more different. Where Old Bacolet is amongst our windiest farms, New Bacolet’s face is turned south, away from the winds.

It is utterly, almost eerily still; the air hanging dense and heavy over the cane. It is also dry. Very dry. The steepness of the amphitheatre slopes, and the free-draining, rockfield soil, means water runs off every part of the farm, even the flatter field at the amphitheatre’s base. Yet this very ‘water stress’ adds character. The cane works harder; grows tougher, puts down more sucrose.

The result is a farm whose character is defined by stunning purity, focus, elegance and aromatics. Where others revel in power and bombast, New Bacolet is all refinement and clarity of flavour. As our Head Distiller Devon suggests, it is the kind of rum that gently eases you back in your chair.

History

Dunfermline

The current village and estate of (New and Old) Bacolet in St. David derive from the historical sugar estate that dates to the early 1700s as “Le Petit Bacolet” under the French; Grand Bacolet was in Grand Marquis to the north (Thomas Jefferys 1760[c1765]). “Petit Bacolet” sugar estate was a very large estate, dating to its establishment under de Longueville and Jean-Gabriel de Casenave de La Barrère. Thus the name Bacolet dates to the French and probably derived from a Kalinago (Island Carib) chief associated with the area in the1650s.
