Mount Gay is the oldest running rum distillery in the world, established in Barbados in 1703, the birthplace of rum. Founded and still located in the Parish of St. Lucy, at the northernmost tip of Barbados, Mount Gay is crafted using pure coral-filtered water from our well, only dug once, and the finest Barbadian and Caribbean molasses.
Celebrating over 320 years of heritage and expertise, Mount Gay rums are a fine balance between science, art and innovation. In 2019, Mount Gay made history, appointing Trudiann Branker as the first ever female Master Blender in Barbados. The Master Blender is the head behind all Mount Gay blending and innovations.
Aged under the influence of Barbados’ tropical climate, from soil to sip, our rums highlight a unique, rich and flavorful character. Distilled in traditional double copper pot and copper column stills, Mount Gay rums are aged in a diverse selection of casks including American whiskey, Bourbon and Cognac. Mount Gay’s core range includes Mount Gay Silver, Mount Gay Eclipse, Mount Gay Black Barrel and Mount Gay XO, alongside limited-edition collections, such as The Master Blender Collection.
In addition to crafting the world’s oldest rum, Mount Gay is committed at all times to the use of sustainable and transparent practices in order to realise our vision of environmental stewardship, sustainable agriculture and carbon neutrality.
Join our team and become a part of over 320 years of history and craftmanship.
