Very much sherry forward, with an extra oomph of sweetness entwined with the already heady molasses notes. The aroma is dessert in a glass. The mouthfeel is rich and heavy with flavor. Notes of sherry rise to the top, but betwixt the mid-range and the deep base lie an assortment of baking spices, oak char, dark cocoa, banana flambe and dark cherry. A long finish leads to a slightly dry and tannic end. Overall, this is exceptional, and a welcome addition to the Mount Gay Master Blender Collection.

This exclusive blend features some of the oldest rum stocks for the brand and is made from a blend of pot and column still rums aged a minimum of 20 years in ex-American whiskey barrels in Barbados. The rums were then finished for an additional year in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks. It's bottled without chill-filtration at 45% ABV. Only 4,200 bottles are available with the release offered at select retailers around the world beginning June 2023. (SRP $270)
