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).

I thk one day I’ll fork out three figur for the 1703 Cask edn om Mount Gay, if some kd purchasg agent for a liquor shop ever gets around to brgg over to this cy of malts: by that time, I’m jt hopg that I’ll have put this rather disappotg experience behd me, so I don’t treat the premium offerg of a four hundred year old distillery wh the same sort of difference that this slightly ls exalted bottle treated me.
