Mount Gay Rum is Barbados's most famous, and
the company's tours are among the most popu-
lar tourist attractions in Barbados. But if you can
make time for only one rum tour, make sure it is at
St. Nicholas Abbey.
And, yes, there is a connection between St. Nich-
olas Abbey (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}) the horse and St.
Nicholas Abbey, the historic plantation house and
rum distillery. The Coolmore team, which owned
the 2011 GI Emirates Airlines Breeders' Cup Turf
winner, is friendly with the owners of the St. Nich-
olas Abbey, the Warren family. The horse was
named after their estate and Coolmore donated
the saddlecloth and bridle from the Breeders' Cup
win to the Warrens. The St. Nicholas Abbey horse
memorabilia sits in a frame inside the entrance.
