Mount Gay Distilleries has released several limited edition rums over the course of their history to honor their nautical heritage or commemorate important occasions in the history of Barbados. [7] Visitors Centre in Parish of St. Michael 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. Rum also pairs with some truly delicious food options and especially with spicy foods considering its Caribbean heritage. Mount Gay is truly at its best when enjoyed with a dish like spicy noodles or complementing the baking spices and caramel in a Rum Bread Pudding.
It would be impossible to dive into the history of rum without mentioning Mount Gay Distillery, the world’s oldest running rum distillery, established in 1703. That small distillery grew – digging a well, planting single-strand fields of cane, and expanding towards a larger future – under the leadership of Sir John Gay Alleyne. For more information on Mount Gay Rum, please visit www.mountgayrum.com and follow along at @mountgayrumUS. You can classify rum in dozens of different ways taking into account the different hues, how long they’ve been aged, and the type of barrel in which they’ve been aged. For our purposes, though, a simpler view breaks them down into three categories: light, dark, and spiced, with an alcohol content ranging from 20% to 75%. Today, Mount Gay rums are matured in lightly charred American oak barrels that have previously been used to age American whiskey.For over three hundred years, the distinct and pure character of Mount Gay rums has come from distillation in traditional column and copper pot stills. A ground-breaking distillation technique in 1703, this process has been in continuous use by Mount Gay ever since. The company throughout the 20th century was in the hands of the Ward family in the parish of St. Peter. The Ward family resides in the northernmost parish of St. Lucy, where they have extensive agricultural holdings. The last Ward family member to managed the distillery was Frank Ward, who also the Executive Chairman of the West Indies Rum and Spirits Producers Association. Mount Gay Eclipse: An aged rum developed in 1911 and named for the total solar eclipse and the passage of Halley's comet in 1910. Fermentation really begins when molasses and filtered water from Barbados are combined with yeast (selected exclusively for Mount Gay). Since the distillery opened in the 18th century, this process has been conducted outdoors, under the Barbados sky.
The variation in Mount Gay expressions appeals to discerning palates and those seeking flavor and richness in their glasses. How to Enjoy Rum Wes/Pirate… may I first thank you for your great contributions toward understanding and promoting real, pure and unaltered rums. Your efforts are rightfully respected, and not just by me. Vyšší level je pak Mount Gay XO, který se dokonce dobře umístil i v našem velkém srovnání rumů– Cena za obě inovované verze šla trochu vzhůru (kde však ne, pravda?), ale stále se podle mě jedná o dobrou koupi (a dá se na něj často narazit v akci, kde je i o 10-15% levnější než průměr). Zdroje a zajímavé odkazy 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.” Personally, I think the newer presentation, first seen on the Gold and Silver Eclipse bottles was a much needed update. It brings the brand into the 21st century. Purists have also had a bit of a gripe about the new presentation leading to inferior product inside as well. Tales of how great the older tasting bottles are present on most rum forums. Rose tinted spectacles truly are a force of nature.

The blending phase is truly an art,” Branker reveals. “I work closely with the team to carefully hand select each blend that goes into our signature products.” 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.
These strong flavors sit at the core of what sets rum apart from its fellow dark liquors, and Mount Gay consistently works to set itself apart again from its rum competitors. Caffall also has fond memories of pairing Mount Gay rum with spicy drunken noodles with Napa cabbage and sesame, from a weekly tiki pop-up at Fort Defiance in Brooklyn. “I can’t think of anything I want more right now than those noodles with a cold Planter’s Punch made with Mount Gay.” Staff writer (20 July 2007).

Mount Gay XO: Formally Mount Gay Extra Old, this rum contains selected casks that have aged for 8 to 15 years. The darker rums are generally heavier and contain a strong molasses flavor with a slower fermentation period that allows for the full development of flavor; lighter rums entered the scene a century later, employing cultured yeast in the fermentation process leading to a dryer product. Aged for shorter periods, light rums are paler in color and less full-bodied in flavor.
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.
