Description

Mount Gay Sherry Cask Rum

Mount Gay Sherry Cask Rum is a rich and sophisticated expression from the renowned Mount Gay distillery in Barbados, known for producing some of the finest rums in the world. This limited edition release is crafted by aging Mount Gay rum in ex-bourbon barrels before being finished in hand-selected Oloroso sherry casks. The sherry cask finish infuses the rum with deep, complex flavors, balancing the signature tropical fruitiness of Mount Gay with rich notes of dried fruits, spices, and dark chocolate.

Production details: Mount Gay Sherry Cask Rum begins with a blend of rums distilled in both pot and column stills. After an initial aging period in ex-bourbon barrels, the rum is transferred to Oloroso sherry casks, which impart layers of dried fruit, nuts, and spices. This finishing process adds depth and complexity, resulting in a rum that beautifully marries the rich sweetness of sherry with Mount Gay’s classic Barbados character.

Serving suggestions: Enjoy neat to fully appreciate the rich sherry influence and complex layers of flavor, or with a large ice cube to mellow its intensity. This rum pairs wonderfully with dark chocolate, roasted nuts, or rich desserts, making it an ideal after-dinner indulgence. It also elevates classic rum cocktails like the Old Fashioned or Manhattan with its deep and luxurious profile.

Additional information: Mount Gay Sherry Cask Rum is a limited edition release that showcases the distillery’s expertise in blending and cask finishing. Its complex flavor profile and smooth texture make it a standout choice for rum aficionados and collectors seeking a premium and unique rum experience.
