Barbados

Settled by the British in 1625, Barbados was a successful colony for over 300 years.  It became independent in 1966, however the island has mainly stayed true to its British roots.  The island is home to Foursquare, Mount Gay, St. Nicholas Abbey, and the West Indies Rum Distillery.  These storied distilleries have been influencing the world of rum since the 1700's.
