Mount Gay Debuts White Rum

Mount Gay Silver is now available in the U.S.

This product marks Mount Gay’s white rum entry into the on-trade market.

The blend was redeveloped by Master Blender Trudiann Branker. It is a blend of pot and columns still rums, whereas most other white rums in the category use column still only.

While the column still component of the blend is unaged, the pot still portion is aged for two years in ex-American Whiskey casks. The liquid goes through double filtration, one of which consists in a filtration through charcoal, which removes the color and adds to the flavor, according to the distillery.

In Mount Gay Silver there is no sugar added.

The result is aromas of citrus, pineapple and toffee, according to the distillery, alongside flavors of grapefruit, butterscotch and cane on the palate.

“Mount Gay Silver is a classic I deeply cherish, rooted in the heart of Barbados and the Caribbean,” says Branker. “I’m thrilled to see our beloved white rum launch in the US on-trade, empowering bartenders to elevate white rum cocktails and extending our authentic island craft to even broader horizons.”

Mount Gay Silver comes bottled at 40% ABV. It is available in markets across the U.S. in 1L size.
