The current parent company of Mount Gay Distilleries (since 1989) is Rémy Cointreau.Because of its origins on the easternmost island in the West Indies, Mount Gay Rum has been closely associated with sailing over the many years of its existence. Barbados, the most deeply British of the West Indian cultures, is often the first landfall for ships following the prevailing trade winds and Gulf Stream currents from Europe to the Caribbean. Despite Mount Gay being favoured by sailors worldwide the island of Barbados, rather ironically, is not considered to be an ideal cruising area for sailing yachts due to its open exposure to the frequent swells of both the northern and equatorial Atlantic, and the to the lack of generally calmer seas or the true natural harbours one finds throughout the rest of the Antilles to the west (i.e. Antigua’s English Harbour, or St. Georges in Grenada).Mount Gay Eclipse Rum Mount Gay from Fraziers Wine Merchants</p>
