We created the Barbados Rum Experience to ensure that caribbean voices were telling the caribbean story. We put the history of sugar and rum at the forefront of our seminars and work hard to ensure we support local Barbadian intaitives along the way.

Caribbean Academics & Speakers

Too often the history and stories of the caribbean are being told by visitors returning to their home countries. At the BRE we want to ensure that our Caribbean history of Sugar and Rum is told by caribbean speakers and academics.

Exclusive Distillery Visits

One of the unique parts of the BRE is our ability to have exclusive distillery visits with members of the distilling teams across the island. Go behind the scenes at Mount Gay Rum Distillery, St Nicholas Abbey and Foursquare Rum Distillery. Discover storied pot stills and innovations coming from each distillery alongside the famed Caribbean Double Retort Pot Still.

FEATURED TALK

The Caribbean

You know Barbados and the Caribbean on a map.  But where are you really? Why are these places as they are? How did volcanos, the huge rivers of South America, winds, ocean currents, and the sun set the terms of their human history?  Rum is a product of the convergence of soils, water, climate and human labour and skill in this very unusual historical context. You will at the end of 40 minutes, understand this region better than 99% of the people who live there.
