Barbados 1949 Meyer Baggers Cigüeña Collection
A rare 1949 vintage Barbados rum, bottled by A. Van Wees for its Cigüeña Collection. The rums were originally stored in casks at E&A Scheer, and were saved from the bottom of their original 15,000-litre barrels after the majority of the contents had been pumped into smaller vessels to facilitate their transportation to a new warehouse in 1984.
