5.00This experience was amazing… much more than I expected. Rumal or Rum Al was awesome… so knowledgeable and fun. We learned so much about the differences in the rum and how they are made. The history of Mount Gay, the tour and tasting were great. I did forget what my homework assignment was though 😂. We also had the mixology workshop which I highly recommend. I don’t remember our mixologist name be he was amazing… we made two drinks and learned quite a bit about making, mixing and serving a drink.
One of the Best Tours

5.00We had a fabulous experience with the Mount Gay Cocktail Workshop. Our engaging guide Tina took us through the history of the distillery and our rum tasting with humour and an obvious wealth of knowledge. Very entertaining and educational! Mixologist Adrian then conducted the cocktail making portion of the tour which was fun and delicious. We met lots of interesting people on the tour and really appreciated the option of transportation so we could get home safely. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone who appreciates rum and cocktails and wants a fun afternoon!

5.00We loved this comprehensive tasting and Mount Gay history lesson, but the cocktail class was the cherry on top! We had a blast and our tour guides were so much fun! Actually getting to put our education to the test and make 3 different rum cocktails was our favorite part!
Great fun

4.00It is a great place, the event is fun and they are generous with the rum! The staff are friendly and there is a lot more to explore than expected. Do this, you will not regret it! I took off a star because my tour time was pushed back and I only found out when I got there.

5.00The very very best alcohol tasting experience. You must try this. We were picked up at hotel by minibus as stated. Had 30 minutes to relax at the bar with a Green Monkey cocktail before the tour. Marsha our guide was so informative, funny, friendly. Awesome. Tasted 4 different Mount Gay rums plus all the info. Great group of about 20 people. Then onto the cocktail masterclass with Adrian. Again so good. It lasted about 2 and a half hours between the two. Great value and learnt a lot. You must do this
Tasty and fun!
