Mount Gay Single Estate Pot Still Rum is crafted exclusively from sugar cane grown on the Mount Gay Estate in St. Lucy, Barbados, and distilled 100% in pot stills. Unlike many rums, all the molasses used is derived from estate-grown cane intentionally cultivated for rum rather than sugar production, showcasing the unique terroir of the estate.
The rum undergoes a notably long fermentation (9 days, compared to the typical 4), resulting in a secondary fermentation. This process, combined with Mount Gay’s proprietary yeast, creates exceptionally fruity and distinctive Barbadian flavors, including notes like pineapple, guava, and fresh-cut grass.
Depending on the vintage, typical aromas and flavors include: - Bold citrus, sweet fruit, banana, grapefruit, plums, and almonds - Palate of brown sugar, oak, grapefruit, floral notes, sea salt, and a hint of smokiness - Subtle elements such as caramel, vanilla, young wood, and nutty tones are also present in some releases
