About this deal

Mount Gay, one of the rum producers in Barbados, and arguably the oldest running distillery in the world, has recently updated its core range. Mount Gay Black Barrel (MGBB) hit the UK market in 2014, meant to bridge the gap between Mount Gay Eclipse and the XO. While we have taken care in preparing this summary and believe it is accurate, it is not a substitute for your reading the product packaging and label prior to use. I'm a big rum fan and have gone through various bottles over the years, some costing 5x as much as this. Although it is made from single column and double pot distilled rum, just like other Mount Gay rums, Black Barrel uses a higher proportion of double pot distillates.

The distillery blends distillates coming off their copper coffey still and copper double pot still to make their core rums.I was looking for rum from there or the local islands and ran across this rum distilled in Barbados.

They mention that its a genuine sipping rum, wonderfully tasteful without a horrible burn and that its beautifully matured. Released in the UK in 2014, the Mount Gay Black Barrel rum is made from single column and double pot distilled rum, though using a higher proportion of double pot distillates than their other expressions.

Molasses based, blend of column and pot still distillates with more pot still component than its predecessor and aged for a bit longer – the rum’s age ranging from 3 to 7 years old in the tropics in ex-American Whiskey casks. Released in celebration of the brand's 311-year history, Mount Gay Black Barrel Rum reinforces the craft, refinement, and unparalleled excellence at Mount Gay since 1703. Mount Gay Black barrel is a small batch rum which has been made from double distilled pot and column still rums and then aged in heavily charred bourbon barrels.I’m interested as how the ex-American casks would differ from ex-Bourbon ones – if anyone has details regarding this please get in touch.

It may not be reproduced in any way whatsoever without the prior consent of Waitrose Limited nor without due acknowledgement.I'll stick to whisky as I don't prefer the extra sweetness personally, but I'd recommend anyone to try this. Try Mount Gay in a traditional Caribbean cocktail such as the Original Rum Punch, or why not in a Daiquiri: 50ml Black Barrel, 25ml lime juice, 10ml sugar syrup - shaken over ice and strained into a chilled cocktail glass or coupe. It turns up the initial profile a bit, it’s adding a layer of more floral/herbal notes and it balances the rum overall, but because of the lack of contrast, the spiciness of MGDCB doesn’t stand out as much. For a person who loves great rum, a personalised bottle of Mount Gay Black Barrel Double Cask Blend is certain to make a great gift.
