Mount Gay Old Cask Selection 1703
Loved by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰, PRV & 16 more
A solid stepping stone for those building their palate, this unsweetened Barbados blend leans elegant over loud. Expect vanilla, toasted coconut, plum, dried tropical fruits, leather and gentle oak. Best as a relaxed sipping rum for bourbon or Mount Gay fans wanting an older, classic Bajan profile without sugar.

Elegant, mature Barbados sipping rum A solid stepping stone for those building their palate, this unsweetened Barbados blend leans elegant over loud. Expect vanilla, toasted coconut, plum, dried tropical fruits, leather and gentle oak. Best as a relaxed sipping rum for bourbon or Mount Gay fans wanting an older, classic Bajan profile without sugar.
Bourbon crossover drinkers and Mount Gay fans wanting a smooth, unsweetened, oak‑and‑vanilla Barbados sipper with clear signs of age but no high-ester aggression.
Those craving cask-strength intensity or very funky, ester-heavy profiles; drinkers who want big power rather than a softer 43% experience.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a great rum from Mt. Gay and one of my favourites from this destillery. The blend ranges from 10 to 30 years of age and thus the balance and complexity. This rum can compete with the greatest out there and at a really good price tag.
Review by PRV
It feels like an old rum. The alcohols in the blend are 10 to 30 years old, more than 15 years old in the bottle. Dried tropical fruits. Caramel and dessert tones, leather, wood. Pretty solid.
Review by Stefan Persson
This was the first English styled rum that I tasted and I didn’t appreciate it at all. A retest would certainly upgrade this rating a lot. Today I appreciate the Bajan style very much.
Review by Henry Davies
A really enjoyable Barbados rum. The nose is divine, light vanilla and bourbon cask elements. Mouth is not the most complex but plum and wood notes, not perfectly integrated but layers of flavour and real step up from some of the standard Mount Gay rums. The finish is lightly spicy and medium length. A super solid rum although it honestly feels a bit underpowered and would benefit from a bit more ABV
