The Experience
Rum, known historically as “rumbullion” and “kill devil,” has deep roots in Barbados, earning the island its reputation as the birthplace of rum. On this unforgettable tour, discover the fascinating story of rum at St. Nicholas Abbey, a beautifully preserved seventeenth century plantation house renowned for its award-winning rum. Explore the historic house, lush gardens and rum distillery, with a chance to sample the estate’s finest spirit. Then, climb aboard the Heritage Railway, a restored steam train, for a scenic journey to Cherry Tree Hill, offering spectacular views of Barbados’ east coast. After lunch, enjoy a brief stop in the picturesque coastal village of Bathsheba before continuing to the Mount Gay Visitors' Centre. Here, expert guides bring the history of rum to life, followed by a fun and engaging tasting experience exploring the distinctive flavors, aromas and subtle nuances of Mount Gay’s finest rums.
