Mount Gay Master Blender Madeira Cask Rum
This edition of the Mount Gay's most limited series sees Master Blender Trudiann Branker look to Madeira, the beautiful Portuguese island off the coast of Morocco that has made an iconic fortified wine for more than 300 years. Using only column distilled rums, she placed the liquid in seasoned Madeira wine casks for six years, carefully observing how the rum aged over time.
The result is a velvety and generous blend that unfolds with every sip. The liquid has deep golden hues and the nose showcases pear, oak, grapefruit, vanilla and butterscotch. On the palate, the column distilled rum is married with the subtlety of Madeira wine notes from the barrel, including honey, grapes, pear, citrus rind and dried fruit. Bottled at 55% ABV non chill filtered.
