Barbados

Where rum began: Barbados rum — the earliest documented rum ('kill-devil' of the 1640s; Mount Gay, founded 1703, is the world's oldest rum brand) — elegant pot-and-column blends aged in oak, plus Foursquare's modern masterpieces.

What it is

Where rum began: Barbados rum — the earliest documented rum ('kill-devil' of the 1640s; Mount Gay, founded 1703, is the world's oldest rum brand) — elegant pot-and-column blends aged in oak, plus Foursquare's modern masterpieces. Origins: Barbados's sugar revolution (1640s) birthed rum; the island's style (no added sugar in the honest houses) is a benchmark. Made from: molasses, pot and column spirits blended, tropical oak ageing. How it's made: 1) Ferment molasses. 2) Distil in copper pots and columns. 3) Age; blend for balance. Served: neat for the aged (Foursquare, Mount Gay XO); in a rum punch ('one of sour, two of sweet, three of strong, four of weak' — the Bajan rhyme). Flavor: toffee, banana, oak elegance. Strength: 40-43%. Culture: Barbados has more rum shops than churches, they say — the rum shop is the island's parliament. See also: Falernum.
