Special features: The Mount Gay 15 Year Rum comes from the historic Mount Gay Distillery Ltd. in Barbados and is bottled at an alcohol content of 43%. It ages for at least 15 years in former American bourbon barrels, leading to a complex development of aromas. The bottling is done without cold filtration to preserve the rich flavor nuances. This original bottling is an expression of the long and fine craftsmanship that is maintained in the oldest rum distillery in the world.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: The nose presents aromas of zesty grapefruit, delicate butter pastry, banana, vanilla, plum, caramel, and a hint of cinnamon.
• Palate: On the palate, flavors of butterscotch, vanilla, caramel, orange peel, cocoa nibs, red plum, citrus fruits, red grapes, and a touch of sea salt dominate.
• Finish: The finish is characterized by a harmonious balance of sweet and salty notes.

Distillery/Bottler: Mount Gay Rum is considered the oldest rum distillery in the world, founded in 1703 in Barbados. The distillery uses molasses and water, filtered through coral, for rum production. The process includes distillation in copper pot stills and column stills, followed by aging in oak barrels that were previously used for bourbon. Mount Gay Distilleries Ltd. has made a name for high-quality rums that embody the heritage and tradition of Caribbean rum production.
