Drink of choice of sailors on sailing vessels trawling through the high Pacific seas in the 18th and 19th centuries, Mount Gay – that exalted rum, has finally made its way to Indian shores.
World-renowned French liquor brand, Rémy Cointreau Group recently announced the launch of the oldest Rum brand in existence, in India.
Produced on the island country of Barbados since 1703, the premium brand is expertly fashioned from rich sugar cane and with the pristine, coral- filtered water native to the island.
The smooth, elegant and medium light tasting rum combines delicate notes of ripe banana, sweet almond, Vanilla and Moka. The combination of the best ingredients – sugarcane, aromatic molasses and the coral-filtered water – and the talent of successive generations of master blenders help create the Mount Gay’s hallmark quality.
The collection consists of the 1703 Old Cask Selection, Extra Old, Eclipse Silver and Eclispe.
