Master Blender Trudiann Branker brings her unique vision of delivering rich and flavorful rums to Mount Gay as our first female Master Blender. Our robust new rum, Mount Gay Black Barrel is crafted from a blend of intense and aromatic rums, distilled in traditional copper pots and column stills. The rum is matured between 3 to 7 years in American Whiskey casks and then, finished for 6 months in profoundly charred bourbon casks. This is a balanced sophisticated spirit.
