Mount Gay Rums are premium quality spirits for the discerning rum consumer. The entire Mount Gay range can be enjoyed on their own, similar to premium cognacs or liqueurs, or with a variety of mixers. Mount Gay Distilleries Ltd also distributes a number of international brands including ABSOLUT Vodka, Chivas Regal Scotch Whisky and Remy Martin VSOP Cognac. |
Though the first surviving written evidence that rum was being produced in Barbados is a legal deed dated 20th February 1703, the contents of that document is evidence in itself that rum was being produced prior to that date. Most experts believe that it is from as early as 1663 when rum was produced in Barbados, making Mount Gay, the world’s oldest rum.
For over 300 years, Mount Gay has been produced on the same plantation in Barbados and in 1925, Mount Gay Distilleries, as it is known today, came into existence. In 1975 Mount Gay was elected ‘Best Rum in the World’ by the Distilled Spirit Council of the United States. Since then Mount Gay has won numerous awards from around the world for its brands.
The purest coral water, a unique distillation process, the ageing in Kentucky oak barrels plus the skilful blending of the Master Blender has led to the development of the four distinct brands in the Mount Gay range.
Eclipse
Eclipse was created in 1910 and illustrates the art of true Barbadian rum. Its golden glow and distinct floral and spicy notes are ideal in long drinks or cocktails but many enjoy it on the rocks or neat.
Extra Old
Extra Old is the result of many years of meticulous development and it is a masterful blend of the finest aged spirits selected from amongst the oldest reserves. Its dark amber colour, magnificent luminosity and extreme clarity are the key qualities of this highly favoured rum. Extra Old is reserved for the most demanding of connoisseurs and is often referred to as Mount Gay Black!
Premium White
Premium White is a light-bodied rum, its aroma consists of floral, spicy and sugary elements with some emphasis on the spicy notes. A favourite among Barbadians and visitors alike in cocktails.
Sugar Cane Brandy
Sugar Cane Brandy has a reputation for its smoothness and superb blend which are said to resemble the characteristics of brandy. Its highly smoked notes and subtle spice character are perfectly and naturally balanced to give a complex harmonious flavour.
Mount Gay has always had a passion for regattas and has therefore become a reference in the sailing world. Every year this rum supports over 100 regattas around the world, the now famous red cap has become a symbol and represents for the enthusiasts, the proof of their identity. Any passionate sailor, worthy of his name drinks Mount Gay Rum!
The name Mount Gay is also synonymous with the Crop Over Festival an annual cultural event that culminates in costumes, street dancing and calypso events across the island. This historically based festival takes place at the end of the sugar harvest in July and August and climaxes with the Grand Kadooment Day Parade on the first Monday in August.
Mount Gay has always played a major role in this festival both on the national level with the sponsorship of the Party Monarch Finals on the picturesque East Coast and at the community level where calypso tents and costume bands abound.
