Mount Gay Black Barrel

My go too supermarket rum. Fantastic easy sipper and well worth the price.

An intense, Dark Rum by Master Distiller Allen Smith for Mount Gay Distilleries Ltd in Barbados; getting its name from the deeply charred finishing casks. It’s a cross section of Mount Gay Rums aged between 3 & 7 years with more than 1/2 of the Spirit dripping off double pot stills & the rest coming from the column stills. All of the Rum was aged in American Whiskey barrels. After marrying, the Rum was finished in ex-Bourbon casks & bottled at 43% ABV. It has an aromatic birth with notes of Rum-raisin cream, vanilla toffee, allspice & a hint of brown butter; while a bold life adds notes of gingerbread, toffee, cinnamon & cracked pepper; that leads to a long rich & spicy death.
