The oldest official distillery in the world, Mount Gay was established in the Caribbean island of Barbados in 1703 when Sir John Gay joined forces with a friend of his who had recently inherited a then unknown distillery. Black Barrel is a small batch, handcrafted blend made of matured double pot distillates and aged column distillates. In a process called finishing, the blended rum is then matured for a second time in deeply charred ex-bourbon oak barrels. Bottled at 43%. (Bottle size 750ml)

Nose: Complex notes of spice, toasted wood, followed by a subtle fruitiness.

Palate: Bold spice balanced with oaky vanilla and sweet caramel.

Finish: Warm, medium in body and lingering.
