Mount Gay Distillers Mount Gay Barbados Rum 1703 The Madeira Cask Expressions Small Batch Master Blenders Collection #5 700ml

Mount Gay's Madeira Cask Expression is the fifth release in the Barbados distillery's Master Blender Collection, built entirely from column-distilled rum rather than the brand's usual pot-and-column blends, then matured for six years in seasoned Madeira wine casks. Bottled non-chill filtered at 55% ABV from a run of just 2,706 bottles, it opens with pear, oak, grapefruit, and butterscotch, and carries the Madeira influence through to a palate of honey, grapes, and dried fruit that finishes dry rather than sweet. Mount Gay has been distilling in Barbados since 1703. This is a rum for someone who already knows the standard lineup and wants to see what a single-cask-type finish does differently.

How to drink Mount Gay Madeira Cask Expression

Neat, in a tulip glass, is where the Madeira influence actually shows — ice flattens the fruit notes this bottle is built around. If you want it in a drink, keep it simple: a splash of water or a single rock, nothing that competes with the wine-cask character.
