Stade’s Rum Vulcan Two Taps 2019
Here's the surprise: this Barbados rum drinks more like a Jamaican, and several tasters said they'd have guessed island wrong blind. Expect esters, a metallic, medicinal edge, pineapple and banana, spice and toasted oak, with a slightly smoky note that reminds some of whisky. At 50.5% the alcohol is mostly well-tucked, though a few find it thin. Pleasant and creamy, if a touch one-dimensional.
The community says- Tropical fruit esters
- Well-integrated alcohol
- Can feel one-dimensional

How does Stade’s Rum Vulcan Two Taps 2019 taste?
Aggregated from 36 community reviews.
Ester-heavy Barbados that tastes Jamaican Well-liked but not adored. Fans enjoy the ester-driven, tropical-fruit profile and rounder finish; others find it slightly thin, a bit one-note, and less fruity than the sibling Old Gregg.

"Cette cuvée exceptionnelle doit son nom au Vulcan, un alambic à trois chambres datant du XIXe siècle, dernier exemplaire original encore en activité. Remis en service en 2018 grâce au savoir-faire de Henderson « Digger » Skinner, vétéran de la distillerie, il conserve une tradition singulière : lorsqu’il cale, deux coups de barre métallique suffisent à le relancer." nous dit Excellence Rhum ! Clairement, le côté rugueux de ce vieux coucou se fait sentir. Des notes légèrement métalliques, une bonne dose de fruits exotiques, du caramel, des amandes, une pincée d'épices.. C'est simple, mais très beau (pour cette relative jeunesse).

#5747 28.09.2025 Day two of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. This one wasn't really me. Pretty sweet and some of the Barbados spirit was missing in my mind. Fruity with good ABV and wood integration.
Review by zabo
So nun habe ich mal alle zwei neuen Abfüllungen von Stades probiert. Irgendwie so gar nicht mein Geschmack. Glaube mit den West Indies werde ich kein Freund mehr. Dieses rauchige erinnert mich immer an einen Whisky. Viel mehr Verdünnung dürfte es nicht mehr sein.
Review by Thunderbird
Dieser Stade überzeugt mich nicht wirklich… zumindest ist er genau das Gegenteil von den bisherigen Stade‘s die mir bekannt sind… ihm fehlt die Fruchtigkeit, Ester… einfach der Funk… er ist ein einfacher Sipper ohne Ecken und Kanten
Review by Skyfly
The higher ABV compared to the Old Gregg suits this rum well. The finish is noticeably smoother and longer. Both have a similar flavour profile on the nose and palate. Nothing special, but suitable as an easy sipper.
Review by TheRhumhoe
West Indies innovates with this release from the Vulcan still, offering something different from what we’re used to seeing in Barbados. The nose is medicinal, mineral, and metallic, marked by esters and polish notes that sharpen the nostrils. The spicy wood, marzipan, caramel, and tropical fruits (pineapple, banana, mango) give body and structure to this varied and elaborate profile. Very good first impression. On the palate, the profile becomes creamier, probably rounded by buttery, milky, and pastry-like nuances. You find citrus and exotic fruits, wood, and soft spices (vanilla) that bring a lot of roundness. It’s a pleasant rum, almost creamy in the mouth, inviting you to discover other releases in the same style. The alcohol is very well integrated. The finish isn’t very pronounced and doesn’t last very long, but it keeps all the creaminess of the palate with pastry, medicinal, mineral, woody, and vanilla sequences. The tropical fruits are present but more restrained. A nice dynamic and very promising profile that bodes well for what’s next.

I love the story behind the new stills, and this rum here is good first try. I can't wait to see more.
Review by Arya_NBV
Barbados schmeckt man schon, aber Schärfe und ein bisschen prickeln wie „Funk“ überwiegt. Metallisch lese ich in den anderen Kritiken, kann es auch nachvollziehen, aber nicht störend. Insgesamt lecker, aber die Geschichte dahinter ist spannender als der Geschmack. Ich belasse es bei den 2 Flaschen, die ich habe. Trotz 50,5 fast ein bisschen wässrig.
