Thanks to Barbados master distillers who have perfected the art of making rum over generations, the Taste of Bajan rum is as distinctive as the island and its people. Barbados boasts many distinguished distilleries—here, we feature Mount Gay, St. Nicholas Abbey, and West Indies Rum Distillery—each offering unique blends that range from smooth, caramel-laced sippers to bold, spiced varieties.
The Art of Rum Tasting
Rum tasting in Barbados is an experience to savour, much like a fine whisky. From appreciating its aroma to letting the flavours unfold on the palate, each sip reveals layers of tropical fruit, vanilla, oak, and spice. For those eager to explore, distillery tours provide a firsthand look at the craftsmanship behind every bottle, offering tastings of world-renowned rums, including award-winning selections.
Beyond the distilleries, Bajan rum is a staple of island life, used in cocktails, desserts, and the heart of local gatherings. Whether stopping by a traditional rum shop or indulging in a fine-aged blend, there’s no wrong way to enjoy it.
