Mount Gay Rum, the rum that invented rum
Mount Gay Rum was born in the heart of the Caribbean in the 17th century. In 1703, it obtained its official title of ownership, legitimizing its distillation activity, and since then, it has been the oldest and most refined rum brand in the world.
Originating in Barbados, a veritable paradise on earth, its excellence derives from three-hundred years of know-how, from its sugarcane plantations of exceptional quality, and also from the island’s pure
water, naturally filtered by the coral reefs. Today, Mount Gay and its cellar master Allen Smith continue to distill a unique rum and create prestigious references.
