Mount Gay 25yr old, Barbados Rum, 47%

This rum is part of the distillery’s new “Exceptionally Aged Collection”, a range that highlights transparent age statements and long-term maturation as a core expression of quality.

This 25 Year Old is an extremely rare chance to try a rum of such age and provenance.

Deep gold in the glass, the nose reveals rich vanilla, sweet caramel, zesty citrus, dark chocolate and an intriguing hint of tart cherry. The palate opens up further depth and complexity, with raisins and toffee balancing cinnamon and toasted nuts. A hint of salt caramel, nutmeg and gingerbread linger as the exquisitely long finish tapers off gracefully.
