Discover the essence of Barbados with the Mount Gay Rum Discovery Pack, a curated trio of 200ml bottles that narrate the rich legacy of the world's oldest rum distillery, proudly crafting exceptional spirits since 1703. This elegant collection encapsulates the spirit of the Caribbean through three distinct expressions, each showcasing the nuanced character and vibrant soul of sugarcane.
Eclipse opens the story with a bright and lively profile, glowing with golden straw hues. Its inviting aroma evokes a tropical morning, featuring notes of grilled pineapple, soft banana bread, lemon peel, and a delicate touch of toasted coconut. The palate is fresh and breezy, with flavors of orange zest, vanilla bean, and light brown sugar that dance like steelpan melodies. A subtle white pepper bite and a fleeting oak finish create a memorable, light-hearted introduction.
The journey deepens with Black Barrel, a complex and charismatic expression that pours a rich amber. Its bold nose reveals layers of toasted oak, molasses, charred citrus peel, and a hint of clove. On the palate, experience a fuller mouthfeel with notes of dark caramel, nutmeg, ginger, and warming roasted allspice. The lingering finish conjures the smoky warmth of a beach bonfire’s aftermath, adding depth and intrigue.
Concluding the pack is XO, a refined and textured memoir of time. This deep bronze rum captivates with an arresting nose of figs soaked in rum, pipe tobacco, candied pecans, and salted caramel over aged wood. The palate is opulent yet balanced, revealing layers of rich dried fruit, orange marmalade, dark chocolate, and subtle hints of espresso and leather. Its warm, enduring finish evokes the serene ambiance of a sea breeze
