And you thought the top-shelf rum you were drinking was really something! It has NOTHING on my favorite — Mount Gay Barbados Rum — the oldest and BEST rum in the world.
You better get a pen and take notes, son!
MOUNT GAY’S UNIQUE CRAFTSMANSHIP
The process by which all Mount Gay Rums are created - a marriage of artistic creativity and sciences - is close to the traditional Golden rum manufacturing process. However, Mount Gay Distilleries’ unique craftsmanship derives from other producers by five unique and distinctive elements:
- The best molasses
- The purest coral water
- A unique distillation process
- Aging in Kentucky oak barrel
- The art of our ‘Master-blender’
THE RANGE
ECLIPSE illustrates the art of Barbadian and Caribbean rum. Created in 1910, its luminous, golden amber glow and distinct floral and spicy notes have pleased, ever since, the palates of connoisseurs the world over. Its subtle, balanced blend perfectly harmonizes taste and aroma. Ideal in long drinks or cocktails, it can also be enjoyed on the rocks or neat.
EXTRA OLD, in its category, is the reference of the rum world. It is a masterful blend of the finest, aged spirits, selected attentively amongst the oldest reserves with a resulting maturity of 17 years. The force of its oak aromas is softened by its sweet, fruity notes, reminiscent of pastry and bananas. Easily identified thanks to its traditional label and its malt whisky type bottle, its magnificent luminosity, dark amber colour and extreme clarity are the key qualities of this rum. The result of many years of meticulous development, EXTRA OLD has received several Grand Gold Medals and Trophies from the highly respected International Institute for Quality competition.
Alongside these two exceptional references, Mount Gay Rum also offers a
PREMIUM WHITE RUM for a selected market, very much appreciated by the Barbadians, as well as a reputed SUGAR CANE BRANDY. This pure rum was named at a time when the unique blend had such a high percentage of double distillate that its characteristics resembled those of brandy.
Two other products highlight the brand’s innovation with premium and natural flavours such as MOUNT GAY VANILLA and MOUNT GAY MANGO.
I’m all over the Mount Gay Mango!
It’s time to put away the baby formula and drink an ADULT rum.
