St Nicholas Abbey

1658 Jacobean great house on a 400-acre working plantation, with distillery, gardens and a restored 1914 steam railway.

The only distillery in Barbados that makes rum from its OWN freshly pressed and pasteurised cane syrup rather than bought-in molasses, with cane still hand-cut on the estate. You walk the cane fields, watch the mill and syrup process, then taste the rum that came off that land.
