Mount Gay Barbados Golden Rum, Black Barrel Double Cask Blend, 70cl

Product Information

A blend of rums distilled in copper pot and column stills, matured in American whiskey casks and finished in charred Bourbon casks. Mount Gay Black Barrel is crafted from a blend of intense and aromatic rums, distilled in traditional copper pot and column stills, matured between 3 to 7 years in American whiskey casks, and finished for 6 months in deeply charred Bourbon casks. And, importantly, it is finished in heavily charred bourbon barrels (hence the name) before bottling.

Mount Gay Black Barrel was actually featured in one of my older reviews (1 year and a half ago), also a “vs” between XO and BB, so it will be interesting to see how my palate evolved since. It’s also a quintessential Barbadian rum brand and, despite being owned by a big company such as Remy Cointreau, they are making rum using traditional practices. uk accepts no liability for inaccuracies or misstatements about products by manufacturers or other third parties. While I do like the flavour profile of MGBB – young Barbadian rum spiced up by a heavily charred barrel, the MGDCB is definitely more complex.
