Mount Gay Coffey Still Expression Rum

Introducing the Mount Gay Coffey Still Expression, a floral and rounded limited release bottled at 58.0%. Distilled entirely through the historic copper Coffey Still, this expression showcases pear, grapefruit and honeyed aromas, matured for four years in heavily charred ex-bourbon casks.

What makes this expression exceptional is its unique distillation method and careful barrel choice. The 100% Coffey Still run yields a spirit of delicate florality and bright citrus notes, which is then softened and enriched by four years of island ageing in charred ex-bourbon barrels, resulting in an opulent, multi-layered rum.

Production:

The rum is sourced from column-distilled mash using Mount Gay’s fully restored copper Coffey Still, honouring Aeneas Coffey’s early 19th-century design. After distillation, the new make is transferred to heavily charred ex-bourbon casks and aged in Barbados’ warm, humid climate for four years, allowing oak spice and honeyed depth to integrate.

Pairing Suggestions:

Enjoy neat to appreciate its floral elegance, or pair with grilled pear drizzled in honey and a sprinkle of nutmeg. Vegetarian match: a citrus-and-ginger panna cotta or a wildflower-honey cheesecake. For a savoury contrast, serve alongside smoked duck breast or aged Manchego.

Tasting Note:

The nose is bright with pear, vanilla and nutmeg, leading to a palate of fresh grapefruit, warm honey and cinnamon-spiced oak. The body is a golden straw hue that finishes long and fragrant, with subtle leather and honeyed florals.
