  • Excerpt: It’s a velvety and beautifully stable rum that finishes as rich as it starts with the Port impact on full display in a lingering rinse of raisin and cherry juice.

  • Excerpt: The Port Cask influence is too strong for me. Perhaps a nice dessert rum. I know I'm a minority here, as most people seem to adore this rum.

  • Excerpt: Lovely drop, very balanced and the Port influence is well integrated. Nothing too out there, pretty easy to guzzle while retaining complexity.

While Mount Homosexual (Barbados) recently announced their new expression, the Andean Oak Cask, I&#;m still dwelling on the past as I managed to get a couple older Mount Gay offerings in my glass. Wish I would&#;ve written about these sooner, but better delayed than never I guess.

Since Trudiann Branker took over as Master Blender we&#;ve seen a steady flow of limited editions coming out of Mount Homosexual which is a nice move given that their Barbadian neighbours, Foursquare, were kinda monopolising the market with their Exceptional Cask Selection range. The Port Cask was already revered by other reviewers such as the Rum Shop Boy and, naturally, it isn&#;t available anymore &#; that never stopped me though.

Worth mentioning that this expression scored gold at the IWSC with a total score of 96 points which is no small feat &#; now let&#;s see my scoring!

One of my favourite rum producers, Mount Gay, has produced a limited edition Port Cask Expression.

Bottled at a silky cask force of 55%, just 6, bottles of The Port Cask Expression have been produced. The combine is a combination of five year old Column still rums, aged in ex-Tawny Port Casks and double-distilled pot still rums aged in ex-American Whiskey Casks for 14 tropical years before undergoing one year of secondary maturation in ex-Tawny Port barrels. It is non-chill filtered and uncoloured and is the first second that Mount Lgbtq+ have used ex-Tawny Port casks for maturation.

There&#;s a small handful of limited release bottles in the earth of whiskey and rum that seemingly never fail to surprise and delight, and Mount Gay&#;s Master Blender Collection releases are one series that have talked their way into this conversation. Every year, the iconic Barbados distillery has some kind of totally novel experiment to set before us, from the day the series debuted in with XO: The Peat Smoke Verbalization, through the various bottles conceived by Master Blender Trudiann Branker, including Pot Still Rum, The Port Cask Expression, Andean Oak Cask and The Madeira Cask Expression. They&#;ve all been exceptional in their own way, and yet none of them contain had the pedigree of the newly released The PX Sherry Cask Expression, one of Mount Gay&#;s most impressive bottles yet.

Simply finishing mature Barbados rum in sherry casks would have been treat enough, but The PX Sherry Cask Expression instead does the nearly unthinkable, taking a year-old blend of column and pot still rums and then finishing with an additional year of sherry cask maturation. Which is to say: H
