Mount Gay Rum Pushes The Boundaries Of Rum Making With New Limited-Edition Expression

Mount Gay, the world’s oldest running rum distillery dating back to 1703, unveils the Master Blender Collection: The Port Cask Expression (SRP: $175).  It’s the third limited-edition in the exclusive series that celebrates over 300 years of expertise. Created by the Distillery’s first female Master Blender, Trudiann Branker, Port Cask pushes the boundaries of rum-making by incorporating the use of Tawny Port casks for the first time in Mount Gay’s history. The result, a complex blend that is in line with the signature Mount Gay Rum profile, but with a twist; giving notes of cherry, dried fruit, oak, prune and almond on the palate.
