Mount Gay Rum The Coffey Still Expression

Mount Gay Rum The Coffey Still Expression is a rare and refined release from Barbados, crafted entirely through the distillery’s historic copper Coffey Still. This limited edition, part of the Master Blender Collection, pays tribute to the legacy of Reynold ‘Blues’ Hinds, whose decades of expertise helped restore the still to full working order. Distilled from 100% Barbados molasses and matured for four years in heavily charred ex-bourbon casks, the rum showcases the elegance and complexity achievable through continuous distillation. On the nose, it reveals floral aromas with notes of pear, vanilla, nutmeg and subtle leather. The palate opens with vibrant grapefruit, warm honey and cinnamon-spiced oak, delivering a layered and expressive profile. Non-chill filtered, this small-batch rum offers a golden straw hue and a long, fragrant finish that lingers with hints of honeyed florals and delicate spice.
