Mount Gay Pot Still Rum
Mount Gay Pot Still Rum
Considered to be the oldest rum distillery in the world, Mount Gay have released their second limited edition collection: Mount Gay Pot Still Rum as part of their Master Blender series which celebrates their past in rum-making. The new rum collection is distilled in Mount Gay’s double retort pot still where master blender Trudiann Branker selected a batch distilled in 2009 and stored in a virgin ex-whiskey cask to intensify the spicy and roasted nut flavours six months prior to bottling the liquid. ‘For this release, I wanted to showcase pot still rum in its truest form, to be highlighted for its complex nature — aromatics and taste — and show how delicate and balanced this crafted liquid can be.’
