Mount Gay Andean Oak Cask Master Blender Rum Collection

For the fourth edition of the Master Blender Collection, Branker turned to Andean oak, a nontraditional wood choice, to explore another layer of aromatic complexity. The casks were used for 11 months to finish the ageing of a single batch of rums distilled twice in traditional copper pot still and aged 14 years in ex-Bourbon casks.

The result is a delicate, yet opulent blend with layers of spice, nutmeg, vanilla, ripe pear, and toasted coconut on the palate. Dominantly vanilla on the nose, Andean Oak Cask offers a spiciness on the palate that perfectly complements the fruity notes of the aged pot still rum. This rum evolves as time goes, revealing layers of flavours over the course of a tasting journey.
