Mount Gay Andean Oak Cask is the fourth release in Mount Gay's prestigious Master Blender Collection, crafted by Master Blender Trudiann Branker. This innovative rum exemplifies the impact of non-traditional wood on the Mount Gay profile. Distilled twice in a traditional copper pot still, the rum is aged for 14 years in ex-Bourbon casks before undergoing an additional 11-month finishing period in virgin Andean oak casks, a unique species found in Colombia and Panama.
The resulting flavor profile is a sophisticated blend of spices, nutmeg, vanilla, ripe pear, toasted coconut, almond, and candied fruit. The Andean Oak Cask enhances the vanilla notes on the nose while adding a subtle kick that complements the fruitiness of the aged pot still rum. This full-bodied rum boasts a warm, woody undertone, setting it apart from other Mount Gay classics.
Mount Gay Distillery, with its rich history, has been a prominent player in Barbados rum production. The limited-edition Mount Gay Rum Andean Oak Cask, bottled at 48% ABV and not chill-filtered, is a testament to the distillery's commitment to innovation and quality. This release encapsulates the essence of tropical sandy beaches mingled with the cooler climes of the Andean oak's mountainous origins. With only 2,760 bottles available, this rare gem is a must-have for rum enthusiasts.
