Heritage

The tradition of producing rum on Barbados has been dated to the early seventeenth century. In fact, there is evidence of small-scale distillation on Barbados as early as 1637. It is unclear from the evidence whether this early distillation can properly be called rum. However, the first recorded written usage of the word Rum Bullion appears on the Island in 1651. This is the earliest recorded usage of the word Rum as it relates to the distilled spirit anywhere in the world. Evidence dated to 1667 indicates that there were stills in use at the site which would become the Mount Gay Plantation.

Rum & Recipes

The muddled rum drinks of the 18th century were the beginning of the modern cocktail. Tavern bartenders of the time had to be quite creative, using what fresh fruits, sours, and spices were available to make the fiery bite of early rum palatable. Today, the refinement of rum cocktail culture has evolved into a nuanced skill that uses the specific flavour profiles of high-quality Mount Gay Rums to lead the creation of new drink recipes. Blending with the complex character Mount Gay Rums is nothing short of a fine art.
