The Mount Gay Rum Factory , a five-minute drive north of town on the Spring Garden Highway (Mon-Fri 9am-4pm, 45min tours every half-hour; B$10; tel 246/425-8757), offers marginally the better of the rum tours. It starts with a short film giving the history of the company, which first distilled rum on the island in 1703 and is reckoned to be the world's oldest surviving producer of the spirit. The tour covers all stages of production, including refining, ageing, blending and bottling. Afterwards, head to the bar, where the bartender demonstrates how to be a rum-taster, and you're given a complimentary cocktail.
