Barbados

Neptune Three-Year Aged Gold Barbados Rum – the best of Barbados and the UK, and easily the best new rum I sampled in 2018.

Cheap doesn't always mean poor quality when it comes to rum, though. Among the best quality blends I've discovered recently in the budget bin at my local liquor store: The Cane Mill Rum.

If you're looking for one of our favorite spots to work up a sweat whether you're young or old, look no further than Miami Beach (also known as Enterprise Beach), Barbados! Here, most mornings just after dawn, you can expect to find locals going through some killer routines guaranteed to whip you into shape.

Barbados might not seem naughty, but we know better. One taste of the Dirty Barbados cocktail featuring Real McCoy 5 Year Old Rum and you'll understand.

Some photos require very few, if any, accompanying words to inspire an ASAP escape to the Caribbean...

It's still my favorite form of surfing, and not just because I've sucked at the more tradition version we all know and love.

You can drink great rum in many places all across Barbados.

It's a lot easier to get to Barbados these days. For UC readers, it's also a lot more affordable to stay here in style thanks to our friends at Cotton House 2.
