Seven extraordinary rums. Two exceptionally rare releases.

On 16 October at 20:00, step inside the world of Planteray at Library of Spirits for an exclusive rum masterclass hosted by Aurélie Maumus.

This is not an ordinary rum tasting.

Travel through the Caribbean and beyond as we explore seven remarkable expressions from Barbados, Fiji, Mauritius, Belize, Trinidad and more — each with its own origin, character and story.

And then, the evening takes a turn towards the extraordinary.

The lineup includes two highly limited expressions from the Planteray Extreme Series:

Planteray Extreme No.6 – Extreme Barbados DASH
Planteray Extreme No.6 – Extreme Fiji 2007

Alongside them, discover:

Planteray XO
Planteray Mister Fogg Navy Rum
Planteray Mauritius 2013
Planteray Belize 2008
Planteray Trinidad 2003

Seven rums. Different countries, different traditions, different expressions of time and maturation.

Guiding you through the evening is Aurélie Maumus, taking you behind the bottles and into the world of Planteray — from tropical origins to long maturation, blending and the pursuit of exceptional character.

If you love rum, this is an evening worth making room for.

If you think you already know rum, this is an evening that may change your mind.

A night of exceptional Islay whisky.

Meet Teddy Joseph

Teddy Joseph is Global Brand Ambassador for Bowmore and Laphroaig, representing two of Islay’s most iconic single malt whiskies around the world. With over 15 years of experience in the whisky industry, Teddy is known for bringing whisky to life through engaging stories, deep expertise and memorable tastings.

This November, Teddy is coming to the Netherlands to share his knowledge, stories and some exceptional drams with us. A unique opportunity to experience Bowmore through the eyes of one of the people who knows it best.

On 12 November, we invite you to an intimate whisky masterclass at Library of Spirits, Oude Binnenweg 111B, Rotterdam.

We begin at 20:15 — doors open from 20:00 — with a selection that moves beyond the familiar and into the truly remarkable.

The evening opens with the classic character of Bowmore and Laphroaig, before taking you deeper into the world of aged Islay whisky.

At the centre of the evening:

• Bowmore 30 Years 2022 Edition
• Bowmore Captivo
• Bowmore 18 Sherry Finish
• Bowmore 15
• Laphroaig 10YO
• Laphroaig 15YO 
• Laphroaig 25YO
• Laphroaig 34YO

Rare expressions. Decades of maturation. Three very different interpretations of time, oak, peat and the unmistakable character of Islay.

This is not simply an evening of tasting whisky.
It is an opportunity to discover what happens when exceptional spirit is given decades to evolve.

Expect depth. Smoke. Salt. Oak. Dried fruit. Complexity.
And perhaps a few surprises along the way.
