Mount Gay Master Blender Collection - Port Cask Expression
Highly praised for its rich Port-driven dried fruit, chocolate and spice profile, with well-integrated 55% ABV and a long, dry finish that many consider one of Mount Gay’s best modern releases.
Rum fans who enjoy cask-finished whiskies or rums, want a drier Port-and-chocolate profile, and are comfortable with a flavorful 55% sipper rather than an ultra-sweet dessert rum.

How does this rum taste?
Port-rich, chocolatey Mount Gay powerhouse
If you already like Mount Gay XO or cask-finished whiskies, this is a great step up—more power and Port-driven complexity without losing balance or becoming overly sweet.
Those who dislike strong wine-cask influence, prefer very sweet easy 40% rums, or are sensitive to higher ABV and tannic, woody notes in the finish.
A rum in puberty with a very good PLV

Excellent rum and overall one of my favorites from the Master Blender Collection bottlings so far. Fruity, full-bodied, sweetish, the port makes itself positively noticeable!
Mount Gay is one of my favourite distillers and I just need to have their special editions because I know they usually rock. Now I have all 3 of these master blender editions and they're all great in their own way. The nose is fruity and sweet with spices and a touch of marzipan and you can get the esters too. The palate is complex and well balanced with fruit, spices and chocolate. The Port finish also shines through. The finish is extremely long and dry, as usual with Mount Gay, fruity and the Port cask finish lingers there as well.
On The Rocks: On the nose it has a sweet fruity smell of Port with a mild port sweetness. Taste has a strong spice with leather and an oaky delayed warmth… very smooth overall. Finish is long with a sweet fruit and spicey warmth evolving into a slightly bitter treacle. Very pleasant and enjoyable with lots of complexity and suggested only a sipper at this price point. Mixed Pepsi Zero: Leathery, Woody and Earthy Aroma. Little washed out but mild spice and very smooth overall. Due to the rarity it would not be a good mixer.
On the rocks Smell: strong spicy, pleasant and enjoyable. Taste: pepsi zero: leathery, woody, earthy, smooth, spicy still but washed out a bit. Price point not a mixer.
