Barbados rum

Barbados rum is considered the world's oldest rum tradition, and Barbados is often called 'the cradle of rum.' Barbados is a small island in the Caribbean of only 430 square kilometers with approximately 300,000 inhabitants. The island is located about 400 km northeast of Venezuela on the South American mainland. The most famous Barbados rums are probably Mount Gay Rum and rum from Foursquare Rum Distillery (for example Doorly's and R.L. Seale's). In addition, a number of independent companies source their rum distillates from Barbados, after which they are blended and bottled elsewhere. These include Rum Nation, Planteray and SBS, all of which have variants with Barbados rum in their rum series.
