Mount Gay XO Triple Cask Blend Rum 70cl

Description

Mount Gay XO Triple Cask Blend Rum

At the top of Mount Gilboa, in the St Lucy's parish in Barbados, stood a small distillery, which was inherited by John Sober in 1703. A fourth generation Barbadian, Sir John Gay Alleyne was hired by the family to bring the distillery into the new era, and to honor the success of his innovation and achievements the distillery was renamed Mount Gay - a name that has a pedigree for excellence and craftmanship. 

By taking the natural elements from Barbados, Mount Gay Rum is made by combining the local water, cane, and airbourne yeast. Not only a tradition, the process of refining the cane into sugar and then fermenting into molasses, produces the most essential ingredient for their rum.

Mount Gay XO Triple Cask Blend Rum is a small blend of carefully selected mature rums, aged in American whiskey, bourbon and cognac barrels. The aroma is a perfect balance of sweet vanilla, oaky wood and dry spice notes. On the palate there are notes of delicious salted caramel, the frutiness of baked fig, a bit of spice from cloves and a touch of bitterness of datk choccolate. The rum is exceptionally round and complex, deliciously smooth, with a rich creaminess and a long finish.
