Mount Gay Black Barrel is crafted from a blend of intense and aromatic rums, distilled in traditional copper pot and column stills, matured between 3 to 7 years in American whiskey casks, and finished for 6 months in deeply charred Bourbon casks.Mount Gay is the oldest and most nuanced rum in the world. It is still made on the exact same spot that it has been since 1703, in St. Lucy, Barbados. Their unique double pot distillation process came to Barbados with the first merchant ships three centuries ago, and theyve stayed faithful to this method ever since. Today, their naturally pure coral water, traditional copper stills and American oak barrels give Mount Gay its trademark intensity and complexity.
