Mount Gay Rum – The Best Rum in the World

Earning a gold medal in “The Fifty Best Rum” competition, the 300 year old Mount Gay Rum has continuously proven that Barbados rum is without a question the world’s oldest and truly finest rum of all times.  Without a doubt, Barbadians have been producing the best quality rum even since 1703 and has been sharing it to the world by making it available in more and more countries.  Barbados holidays would never be complete without having to gulp or sip in the “liquid gold”.  This is your ultimate chance to savor what they coin to be the best rum in the world right in the very land that produces it.  It was in 1637 that witnessed the break for Barbadian’s rum distillation.  The arrival of the small scale distilleries had given birth to what is now the famous and best tasting rum in the world.  As early as 1667, the what-would be Mount gay plantation was firmly established.  It took them 36 years before Barbadians were able to have announced the regular distillation on Barbados by marking its appearance and trademark thru the oldest written evidence of this momentous event. Over the last three centuries, rum making in Barbados has been truly a long and eminent tradition in the island. Mount Gay has maintained its mark of being expertly fashioned.  The rich sugar cane combined with untouched and coral-filtered water is what makes it simply unique and the best.  It has been part and integral to Barbadian’s way of life and has been institutionalized as an expression or an art form of living in Barbados.  So while you are in for a visit or Barbados holidays, you too will have the chance to enjoy a few grogs and get a full taste of the Mount Gay Rum.  If you are not in a hurry, you can also take the Mount Gay Rum tour to get a glimpse of the distilling process and have the chance to buy directly from their souvenir shop.
