MOUNT GAY BLACK BARREL
Mount Gay Rum is produced on Barbados with passion and unparalleled excellence and has a heritage stretching back to 1703. Expertly fashioned from rich sugar cane and with the pristine, coral-filtered water native to the island, Mount Gay Rum is a sumptuous, inimitable expression of the Barbadian art of living. Mount Gay Distilleries speak in terms of maturity rather than age. The latest from Master Blender Allen Smith, Black Barrel is a small batch, handcrafted blend made of matured double pot distillates and aged column distillates. In a process called finishing, the blended rum is then matured for a second time in deeply charred Bourbon oak barrels. This unique process releases spicy aromas that are at once balanced and bold. Other rums produced by Mount Gay Distilleries include Mount Gay Eclipse, Mount Gay Eclipse Silver, Mount Gay Extra Old and Mount Gay 1703.
