The Mount Gay Black Barrel is a blend of traditional column & double retort pot still rums matured in ex-american whiskey casks & finished in heavily charred ex-bourbon casks in the tropical climate of Barbados. The rum is bottled at 43%. Let's dig in!
That might be the key to its profile, because unlike caskers and single barrel rums which almost demand to be sipped (so as to extend the enjoyment you feel you deserve after forking out three figures for one), the Black Barrel was designed to both do that or be mixed, and whether that duality and the lack of an age statement helps or not, well, that’s for every individual drinker to decide for themselves.
