In Barbados, rum is more than something poured into a glass.
It is part of the island’s history, its agriculture, its social life and for generations, its celebrations.
Born from the sugar industry that helped shape Barbados, rum became one of the island’s most recognisable exports and an enduring part of Bajan culture.
