Mount Gay Black Barrel Double Cask Blend Rum — Barbados

A bold, oak‑forward expression from the world’s oldest rum distillery, showcasing the intensity of double cask ageing and a final heavy char finish that amplifies spice, smoke, and structure.

Appearance - Deep amber‑gold with flashes of copper.

Aroma - Toasted oak and charred spice lead immediately. Layers of vanilla bean, caramel, and butterscotch. Underlying ripe banana, orange zest, and a hint of peppercorn. Subtle smoke from the heavy char barrels.

Palate - Full‑bodied, warming, and assertive. Notes of caramelised sugar, molasses, and vanilla pod. Bright citrus peel, ginger, and clove add lift. The double cask influence shows in the deep oak, char, and spice.

Finish - Long, dry‑spiced, and slightly smoky. Lingering oak, pepper, and burnt sugar.

Blend of pot‑still and column‑still rums. Aged first in ex‑bourbon barrels, then finished in deeply charred American oak (“Black Barrel”).Designed to highlight Barbadian balance with an extra layer of char‑driven intensity.
