This is a real must for anyone visiting the island who enjoys a drop of rum! I canât speak highly enough of our tour guide, Ramal. Expertly delivered information on the history of rum production at Mount Gay right up to current processes. A fascinating insight on the maturity process of rum production, all delivered with a natural splash of humour and warmth. The rum tasting session was really educational and included lots of tips on how to enjoy the rum with a variety of different pairings and cocktails. Worth every penny and I will definitely repeat the experience on my return visit to Barbados! Donât hesitate, book the tour you wonât be disappointed!

Had the most amazing time at the rum distillery. Was very informative and entertaining. Rico (Chico Rico) was amazing and was a pleasure to be in his last tour group! Have recommended it to everyone I have spoken too. Will be coming back again! The Rum was also absolutely amazing. Value for money without a doubt!

I cannot start this review without acknowledging the exceptional tour guide Rommel. He was beyond impressive with his knowledge, his jokes and his calm demeanor. The tour itself was quite informative and eye opening with a video to show you the breakdown of how the Rum comes to be and the process the the Master Blender has to go through. The Rum was amazing as its standard customary. I encourage everyone to visit this amazing centre and learn the history of Mount Gay Rum!!!
The Rum was the Star

Our favorite part was the tasting. We also enjoyed the video that revealed some of the interesting history of Mount Gay.
Wonderful insight into the rum making process at this Distillery factory setting.

Wonderful tour with an in depth insight into this working factory. Started with a rum punch on arrival. Romal our tour guide was knowledgeable and humorous which made for a fun tour. Interesting to see the focus on sustainability on site. The tour didnât feel rushed and we enjoyed the tasting session at the end! Noteworthy point is that we could purchase some bottle items on site but the main shop is located at the visitor centre in Bridgetown, not at the Distillery.
Fabulous visit to Mount Gay

We really enjoyed the experience, learnt a few cool things about Mount Gay rum and tasted the rums. We also got a complimentary cocktail so I think worth the price. The tour guide was hilarious and so engaging.
Great tour

We had a wonderful tour of the distillery, with a cocktail and rum tasting included. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made it fun and interactive. Would recommend any rum lovers to do this!
Amazing Barbados experience!

Staff is friendly, drinks are amazing! Do your tour at this location instead of the one at the caverns. Costs less for a much better experience!
Best distillery tour! Donât miss it!

Awesome experience learning from our great guide Romal. Tour throughout the facility very eye opening on how their rum is made and the quality and natural way without anything added .
This will be my go to rum from now on.
Best distillery tour!
Donât just do tasting at visitor centre, take the factory/distillery tour. Well worth it.
My favorite Mount Gay Distillery

Nice day out

Great experience, loved it , Iâd recommend. Tour guide was Mazzini and I definitely enjoyed it, Rum Heavens
Great introduction to rum!

We had Dariah as our tour guide and I want to shout from the rooftops about how great she was! She made this tour so fun and gave us loads of information, it is so interesting how they make the rum and the pride they take in the product.
We had a welcome cocktail that was really lovely and then tried four different times of Mount Gay rum. We've done whiskey tasting before but are now rum converts! The tasting tour was a great length with the right mix of trying and information. We'd definatitely like to do another one of their tours in the future.
Before leaving we got to try one more type of rum (I can't remember what it was called but it was similar to baileys in some ways). And we stayed for an extra cocktail as we'd enjoyed the tasting and first cocktail so much. Bar area and all the tour areas are nice too. I am so glad that we went and would recommend it to everyone!
Great host and good fun

The rum tasting and the history behind how each rum was stored/matured.
Well worth the visit. I would recommend this to my friends.
Boozy but could do with more booze
