Barbados  Excursion

A story begins with a time and a place. This is an absorbing story where the time and place begins on the Caribbean Island of Barbados back in 1703.

A story about Barbados and its Black Gold Rum.

Our story begins 314 years in Barbados today with an opportunity to connect Mount Gay Rum’s -Rum & Pairing Tour, in the name of verb of course. We just could not leave Barbados without trying out its most famous export – Mount Gay Rum.

After checking in at the Mount Gay Visitor Centre which is also Mount Gay’s Shop full of rum and rum products such as Mount Gay 1703, we settled into the Bar area to wait till the tour began. Bottles of old rum winked at us from behind the bar and exotic cocktail menus tried to lure us, but we resisted and we were so glad we did!

The Mount Gay Visitor Experiences

Visit the Oldest Running Rum Distillery in the World

Established in 1703, Mount Gay is the world’s oldest running rum distillery. Using pure, coral-filtered water and the best Barbadian and Caribbean molasses, Mount Gay rum is distilled in traditional copper pot and column stills, then aged in selected casks, including American whiskey, bourbon, and cognac barrels. Blending over 320 years of craftsmanship with modern innovation, Mount Gay produces some of the world’s finest rums, notably the iconic Mount Gay Eclipse, the award-winning Mount Gay XO, and the new terroir-driven ‘soil to sip’ Single Estate Series. Visitors can learn about the Mount Gay story first-hand through a range of interactive tours, bespoke experiences and rum tastings with a choice of two tour locations.
