- Description
- Mount Gay's Cognac Cask Expression marries Barbadian rum tradition with ex-Cognac maturation sourced from Rémy Martin's own cellars, creating an unusually sophisticated expression at cask strength. Pot and column-distilled rums aged entirely in Limousin oak deliver layers of cherry, plum, fig, and dark chocolate underpinned by creamy vanilla and subtle warmth. A limited release for those who appreciate rum's capacity for complexity and refinement.
