If you're interested in rum and history, then don't miss the chance to visit Mount Gay Visitor Centre and learn about the oldest brand of rum in existence.

The tour concludes on a high, as you get to sample a range of the distillery's famous rums. Don’t forget to grab a couple of bottles from the souvenir shop to take home with you, and pick up a cap or a T-shirt on your way out.

    The second leg of our day out was a fascinating trip round the rum factory. It was educational and fun, which was helped by ample samples of Mount Gay rum. You learn the history of rum production in B...  more »

    Just back and as rainy season, we had rain, so decided on a visit here. Not the cheapest of events, think it was BD$30 each so about £25 for 2. You are welcomed by friendly staff who direct you to a b...  more »

    A very cool place to visit, when in Barbados, Museum tour is very informative and interesting. I especially love the rum punch and see all the tools and pots used in the past. Very lovely gift shop and bar on the compound as well.

    Being quite familiar with Mt. Gay, we skipped the video and tour and went straight to the testing. Don't miss out on the Mauby. More importantly, splurge on the 1703 (and it's cheaper to buy the bottle here than at the airport. For eclipse, it's the other way around and you don't have to pack it in your luggage). Friendly, informative staff. Fun experience.

    We had a wonderful tour guide (Rumal) who made our visit interesting and fun. We learned about the history of rum, which was first distilled on Barbados. A visit here is a must-do if you're spending a few days on the island. Great gift shop too.
