Barbados Rum Experience

The Barbados Rum Experience is a drinks festival unlike any other. Alongisde distillery trips to Mount Gay, Foursquare and St Nicholas Abbey there are three days of lectures and plenty of time to soak up the culture, cuisine, and charm of the island. Learn from some of the most respected Barbadian historians including Dr Richard Drayton, Dr Tara Inniss, Dr Lennox Honychurch, Dr Geoff Ward, Jaclyn Broomes and Richard Seale. Meet the people making Barbados rum. Spend an evening with George Washington at George Washington House, visit local rum shops and restaurants including Cuzz, Tapas, Dis Ole House and many more. Make new rum family friends while based at the fantastic Radisson Aquatica hotel in Pebbles Beach. That's just a snapshot of what the experience is all about. And here on the Master of Malt blog, you can read all about Adam O'Connell's experiences there in his Rum Diary, the most comprehensive review of the Barbados Rum Experience on the net!
