MOUNT GAY 1703 XO RERVE CASK RUM
However, after havg ntacted Mount Gay’s ctomer service ( France, bee Rémy Cotre has owned the brand sce 1989), I n now tell you that both blends are exactly the same – a batn of 8-15 year old ms – and the bottle on the right is merely a newer, more “premium” sign, which is le wh my observatn that ms are now movg upsle both blendg and sign (see the Elements 8 review if you doubt me). Mount Gay is the m om Barbados that sentially – after tourism, I gus – mak the island’s name. Nicholas Abbey, and though Cockspur is pretty faiar to any Wt Indian (’s had sniggerg rights for s) ’s not so well known outsi the Islands: but you’d be hard prsed to fd someone who hasn’t at least heard of Mount Gay.
The olst ntuoly operatg mercial distillery the wtern hemisphere is not Stland, ’s not the Amerin ntents – is this one, and has the papers to prove : fact, legend has that Mount Gay was distillg m sce the mid 1600s, which would brg a sha behd Bhls, Ireland (so look up).
The signature of their l is banana and almond, the way cs is for Appleton, and the premium offerg is the Mount Gay 1703 Old Cask: what we had for the July 2010 selectn was a few ngs lower – the Extra Old, a mixture of ms eight to fifteen years old (a note here: the kd of the bottle I review is the picture on he left: this is gradually beg replaced wh the sleeker new sign on the right). Extra Old m of any kd has this chet of age and re and love about – onle reviews are almost uniformly posive and fawn over the m as if uld hold them till the Rapture – and while I had wanted to stroke Mount Gay like a favoure t, you’d thk my prr enunters wh other pretently named XOs would have ted me out of this ln: as turned out, I had fotten my lson, and simply got scratched for my trouble.
