Mount Gay

Mount Gay: Barbados’ oldest rum distillery crafting iconic, oak‑matured Bajan blends

Oldest licensed rum producer

Expert pot/column blending

Tropical aging mastery

Founded in 1703, Mount Gay rum is widely regarded as the world’s oldest licensed producer of Barbados rum. From coral‑limestone filtered water to copper pot and column distillation, its craft defines the classic Bajan profile—vanilla‑laced oak, toasted coconut, ripe banana and baking spices—tropically matured for depth and balance.

On RumX, 97 expressions have inspired 2,610 reviews with a strong 8.0/10 median rating. Crowd favorites range from the approachable Eclipse and Black Barrel to the sip‑worthy XO – Triple Cask Blend and Extra Old XO Reserve, with bolder limited releases like Last Ward and the Single Estate Series showcasing pot‑still intensity and long‑fermentation complexity.

RumX community voice

RumX drinkers value the balanced Bajan style: clean fruit, vanilla and cocoa framed by dry, well‑integrated oak. Eclipse and Black Barrel are go‑to mixers, while XO and 1703 offer elegant sipping. Limited editions (Last Ward, Port or Madeira finishes) add spice, dark chocolate and layered wood. Some note assertive oak or heat in certain high‑ABV releases, but consistency, craft and fair value keep this house high on community shortlists.
