Mount Gay Debuts Premium White Rum Rooted in Heritage, Refined by Charcoal Filtration

Mount Gay, the world's oldest running rum distillery established in 1703, is proud to announce that its iconic Mount Gay Silver is now available in the US. Meticulously crafted by Master Blender Trudiann Branker, this exceptional product marks Mount Gay's white rum entry into the on-trade market, honoring Barbados' passion for premium white rum.

This launch reintroduces Mount Gay Silver to bartenders, providing them with the unparalleled opportunity to enhance their white rum cocktails. The blend was redeveloped by Master Blender Trudiann Branker.

Celebrating Barbadian rum culture and over 320 years of rum-making expertise, Silver proudly upholds Mount Gay's traditional identity. It is a blend of pot and column still rums, distinguishing it from most other white rums in the category, which 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 secret to the crystal-clear liquid is double filtration, one of which is through charcoal, removing the color and adding to the elegant flavor.

In Mount Gay Silver, there is no sugar added—all the rich taste nuances derive solely from the fine raw ingredients, pure molasses, and cask aging.

These characteristics contribute complexity to the liquid: a smooth and refined finish with tropical aromas of citrus, pineapple, and toffee, alongside flavors of grapefruit, butterscotch, and cane on the palate.

As an authentic island rum, Mount Gay Silver evokes the Barbados and Caribbean tropical climate. Its smooth and aromatic flavors, remarkable flexibility, and unique character make it equally easy to sip, mix in a wide range of cocktails, and enjoy with friends. The Mojito stands out as the signature serve.

"Mount Gay Silver is a classic I deeply cherish, rooted in the heart of Barbados and the Caribbean. I'm thrilled to see our beloved white rum launch in the US on-trade, empowering bartenders to elevate white rum cocktails and extend our authentic island craft to even broader horizons," said Trudiann Branker, Mount Gay Master Blender.

Mount Gay Silver is bottled at 40% ABV. It is available in key markets across the US in 1L size.
