The 1703 old cask selection commemorates the date where first evidence of distilling took place at the Mount Gay distillery. Utilising aged rums ranging from 10 to 30 years matured in former bourbon casks, Master Blender Allen Smith has produced a beauty, giving the rum a cognac-like appeal. Mount Gay’s rum is fermented in oak vats, (as opposed to the stainless steel now being popularised for higher output). The wooden vats result in a varying ferment result due to the porous nature of the oak. Many believe this imparts desired flavour compounds in the rum and other spirits alike..
