Located in Barbados, the Mount Gay distillery was founded in 1703. Its coral-filtered spring water is exceptionally pure. Distillation is carried out in small pot stills and ageing in casks that have previously contained bourbon. A blend of rums aged for 10-30 years, the 1703 Old Cask version shows rare complexity demonstrated by the floral (lilac, peony) and milky (cream, butter) notes found in the empty glass.
