Mount Gay Barbados Golden Rum, Black Barrel Double Cask Blend, 70cl

Product Information

Mount Gay je jeden z nejznámějších výrobců „Bajan“ rumů (tedy barbadoských, které se ze zákona nesmí doslazovat). Samotná destilerie je dokonce jedna z nejstarších na světě. Oficiální výroba rumu zde totiž probíhá již od roku 1703. Her natural curiosity and great professionalism guarantee a prosperous future for Mount Gay. Trudiann possesses the desire to create, explore new ideas and establish a productive dialogue that is in line with Mount Gay’s ambition. For the oldest continuously running rum distillery in the world, it is a great pride to see her, the first female Master Blender, in this prestigious role. Two important deeds from 1654 and 1703 state that rum was already being produced on these dates at our Mount Gay estate, making Mount Gay the oldest running rum distillery,” explains Mount Gay Rum Master Blender Trudiann Branker. Mount Gay Rum is made from molasses and water that has been filtered through natural coral. This mix is fermented using an exclusively selected yeast and then distilled in both copper pot stills and column stills, before being aged in oak barrels.

Thus filtered, this water is some of the purest in the world. Palírna zažila první velký rozmach díky působení sira Johna Gay-a Alleyne (1724-1801), na jehož počest byla nakonec společnost i pojmenována. Rumy z dílny Mount Gay jsou vyráběny striktně z domácích surovin– melasa je z nejkvalitnějšího barbadoského cukru, mimořádně čistá voda je z domácích zdrojů a ještě se k tomu i 3x filtruje.

Barbados sets itself apart in the Caribbean as the only coral-based island which, in turn, allows it to produce some of the purest water in the world. Using their own private well, Mount Gay draws this water through to power its production process. Local Barbadian molasses tends to have higher sugar content which leads to better yields of flavor. What grows together goes together!” says Rae. “All things Caribbean! I immediately think of bread pudding and how amazing Mount Gay would go with the baking spices and caramel that would be used in a Rum Bread Pudding.”The little red star on the image of the island on Mount Gay Rum's former bottle label represents the capital of Barbados, Bridgetown, not the location of the distilleries, which are actually in the northern part of the island.

Mount Gay Rum has this distinct taste unlike any other rums from the islands,” says Taylor Rae, Bartender at NYC’s Ghost Donkey and US National Winner: MGR Taste of Summer Comp. “Because of its history as the first original rum, you really can taste that craftsmanship in the bottle. Mount Gay differs from other island rums because everything inside of the bottle is inherently Bajan. The coral filtered water that they use to make the rum is harvested from the island, the natural open-air yeast that interacts with the breeze of the island. Finally, the perfect balance that is the pot and column still blend that is unique to Mount Gay.”
