MOUNT GAY - The Port Cask Expression - 55%
Mount Gay Rum is produced by Mount Gay Distilleries Ltd., located in Barbados, in the heart of the Caribbean. Founded in 1703, this distillery is the oldest commercial rum distillery in the world, a guarantee of an exceptional tradition and authentic expertise. Throughout the 20th<\/sup> century, the company was owned by the Ward family, originally from the parish of Saint Peter. Today, the Ward family lives in the northernmost parish of Saint Lucia, where they own vast agricultural estates. Since 1989, the Rémy Cointreau group has been the majority shareholder of Mount Gay Distilleries, thus strengthening the reputation and quality of this iconic rum brand.
Mount Gay rum is made from pure molasses, combined with water naturally filtered through coral, ensuring unique purity and smoothness. This mixture is fermented using yeast rigorously selected for its specific properties, then distilled both in traditional copper pot stills and column stills. The rum is then carefully aged in high-quality oak barrels. To create this prestigious Port Cask Expression, Master Blender Trudiann Branker meticulously blended an exceptional mix: a column-distilled rum aged 5 years in Tawny Port casks, combined with a double-distilled copper pot still rum aged 14 years in American whiskey barrels, followed by a refined finishing of one year in Tawny Port casks.
This artisanal rum of character appeals to discerning connoisseurs thanks to its rich, balanced, and complex notes, enhanced by the perfect marriage of wood, dried fruits, and spices. Ideal for lovers of exceptional spirits, Mount Gay Port Cask Expression embodies the excellence and heritage of the finest Caribbean rums.
Exclusively available at Clos des Spiritueux, your reference for rare and authentic spirits.
