Rum
-
The
legendary
distillery
that
is
winning
spirit
competitions
around
the
world
-
is
an
amazing,
educational,
inexpensive
and
worthwhile
visit
for
anyone
with
the
slightest
appreciation
for
rum.
This
is
a
self
guided
tour
that
is
about
20
miles
from
Oistins
and
about
40
miles
from
Holetown.
There
is
no
entrance
fee
to
explore
the
public
areas
of
the
grounds
and
working
distillery.
Information
is
posted
regarding
the
operations
and
history
of
the
site,
which
is
the
oldest
Sugar
Cane
plantation
on
the
island.
The
anticipated
rum
tasting
is
held
in
a
old
building
from
the
1700s,
punctuated
by
shelves
of
almost
every
rum
ever
released
under
the
brand
name.
The
amount
of
sampling
options
are
enough
to
make
any
Rum
aficionado
jealous
and
prices
for
doing
both
a
5-bottle
tasting,
and
trying
additional
releases,
were
extremely
reasonable
considering
most
Exceptional
Cask
releases
sell
for
$150+
when
you
can
find
it.
In
fact,
we
requested
a
swap
of
some
bottles
in
the
tasting
(w/
extra
charge)
so
that
we
could
taste
their
very
best
against
the
more
accessible
releases.
Compared
to
the
Mount
Gay
distillery
tour,
this
one
is
very
relaxed,
without
expectation,
and
everyone
at
the
property
was
very
friendly
and
eager
to
chat
about
their
responsibilities
&
opinions.
Without
an
entrance
fee,
compared
to
$80usd
for
the
Mount
Gay
St.
Lucy
tour,
this
experience
is
by
far
the
better
deal
and
the
rum
is
better
too.
:)
Try
both
if
you
can,
but
don't
miss
Foursquare
if
you
have
to
choose
only
one.
See
you
again
soon
to
try
2022's
new
releases!
