MountGayBlackBarrel(700mL)

<p>A delicious sipping Rum with a rich, Whiskey-like flavor profile. </p><p>Rum production is THE <em>primary industry</em> on the island of Barbados — the eastern-most island in the Caribbean. Mount Gay is not only the oldest Rum Distillery on the island, it is documented to be <em>the oldest Rum Distillery in the world</em> with land title papers stretching all the way back to 1703. Technically, the Distillery is <em>independent</em>, but Rémy Cointreau is a majority shareholder of the facility and controls the Mount Gay brand — and they do a very good job leaving them alone to create their brand of <em>Caribbean magic</em>.</p><p><em>Mount Gay Black Barrel</em> gets its name from the deeply-charred finishing casks. It’s a cross section of Mount Gay Rums aged between three and seven years with more than half of the Spirit dripping off double-pot stills and the rest coming from the column stills. All of the Rum was aged in <em>American Whiskey barrels</em>. After marrying, the Rum was finished in <em>ex-Bourbon casks </em>and bottled at 43% ABV. It really is a <em>wonderful expression</em> and a great Rum for<em> Bourbon-Lovers</em> in all the best ways.</p>
