  Mount Gay Cognac Cask Expression Barbados Rum 58%

  Item no.: 2212265421-5870

  Red berries, vanilla, a whiff of leather. Four years of tropical heat in Barbados, in casks that once held Rémy Martin Cognac. Still unmistakably Mount Gay, just with a French accent.

  Expert Description

  Mount Gay Cognac Cask Expression is a Barbados Rum aged for four years in ex-Cognac casks from Rémy Martin and bottled at 58%.

  This is the eighth release in the Master Blender Collection, where Mount Gay's Master Blender Trudiann Branker picks a new angle on the house style each time. This time the question was simple: what happens when tropical ageing meets casks that have held Cognac? It is also the first time Mount Gay has matured a rum entirely in casks like these.

  The rum is made from molasses and distilled in a column still. All four years of maturation took place in Barbados, in large-grain French oak casks from the Limousin forests. The oak is what brings the dried fruit, vanilla and a dry, woody edge.

  It is bottled non-chill filtered, with no added colour and no added sugar, and only 6,276 bottles exist worldwide. It launched in May 2025, and Branker has hinted that it may mark the end of the Master Blender Collection as we know it.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Red berries and vanilla up front, then leather, with a little orange zest in the background.

  Palate

  Cherry and salted caramel, brown sugar and oak. The sweetness is clear, but the oak pulls it dry.

  Finish

  Long. Sweetness first, then the French oak closes it off dry.

  Mount Gay Single Estate Rum 2024 Barbados 55%

  Item no.: 2212265421-5869

  The northern tip of Barbados, summer 2018. The cane on Mount Gay Estate in St Lucy stands heavy, and harvest only starts at the end of July, later than usual. One season, one estate, two distillations and five years in cask. It added up to 5,418 bottles.

  Expert description

  Mount Gay Single Estate Series 2024 is a Barbados Rum matured for five years in ex-bourbon casks of American oak and bottled at 55%.

  This is the second release in the Single Estate Series, and the first one built on a single harvest year. The debut was a blend of 2016 and 2017. Here every drop comes from 2018 cane grown on the distillery's own land in St Lucy, land Mount Gay bought in 2015. That purchase is what the whole series rests on: a rum house controlling everything from field to bottle. Master Blender Trudiann Branker is behind the blend.

  The rum is made from 100% molasses from cane grown on the estate. The 2018 harvest gave 1,695 tons of cane and 136 tons of molasses, with a sugar content of 72%. Distillation is 100% pot still, on pot stills no. 82 and 83, and two separate distillations were blended. After that the rum rested five years in ex-bourbon casks of American oak. Barbados is hot, and maturation runs faster there than in cooler climates, so five years tastes like more than the number suggests.

  It is non-chill filtered and has no added colour. The packaging is worth a mention too: the bottle is made from over 70% recycled glass, and the gift box and cork are a single material.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Light golden in the glass. Citrus and grapefruit open the nose, followed by sweet plums and banana. Almonds, sea salt and a touch of milk chocolate sit underneath.

  Palate

  Brown sugar and oak first, then the grapefruit again. Something floral runs through it, and the salt stays with you all the way.

  Finish

  Medium to long. Light wood, sea salt and a little dark chocolate, with dried fruit at the very end.

  Did you know?

  The molasses fermented for nine days. The standard is four. That long fermentation triggered a secondary fermentation, which brings in notes of pineapple and guava you rarely find in Mount Gay.

  Bombarda Falconet Dark 8 years old WITH BLACK STAND Blended Dark Caribbean Rum 70 cl 43%

  Item no.: 0597551155-715

  In 1628 the Spanish silver fleet was trapped in the bay of Matanzas on Cuba when Dutch admiral Piet Hein came sailing in. He left with more than 11 million guilders in gold, silver and trade goods. On board were falconets, small and accurate naval cannons with falcons cast on the barrel. That's where this bottle gets its name.

  Expert's Description

  Bombarda Falconet is a Caribbean Rum blended from rums from Panama, the Dominican Republic, Trinidad and Guyana, aged 8-15 years in white oak and Ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 43%.

  The man behind Bombarda is James Papagno from Florida. He started the brand to honour his father George, a US Navy veteran who lived to almost 102. The two of them shared rum together for 39 years. The blend was put together with experienced rum blenders in the Netherlands, and the rules are simple: no added sugar, no caramel colouring and no chill filtration.

  The four origins pull in different directions. Panama and the Dominican Republic bring the soft, rounded sweetness of Latin American rum. Trinidad and Guyana add the English style, including pot still rum from Guyana, which gives more weight and edge. The rum is double aged, first in white oak and then in Ex-bourbon casks, and it's the bourbon casks you notice in the vanilla and the warm spice on the finish.

  The bottle is shaped like a black cannon barrel, and in the US this release goes by the name Midnight Battle Edition. Tastings.com named Falconet the best dark rum for a Daiquiri.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Surprisingly green for a dark rum. Kiwi and unripe plantain up front, then sarsaparilla, a touch of cola and a cool cinnamon with a breath of mint. Vanilla sits underneath it all.

  Palate

  Satiny and drier than you'd expect. Medium body with grilled pineapple, raisins, roasted nuts and butterscotch, while allspice slowly takes over.

  Finish

  Long and warming. Roasted pineapple and tamarind, spiced oak and, right at the end, something close to toasted brioche with cinnamon sugar.

  Ron Dos Mares 1998 Vintage Limited Edition 26 year old Panama Rum 70 cl 47,2%

  Item no.: 3333-8874

  At Hacienda San Isidro in Panama, between the Pacific and the Atlantic, casks from 1998 have spent 26 years under the tropical sun maturing into this rare vintage rum.

  Expert Description

  Ron Dos Mares 1998 Vintage Limited Edition 26 Year is a Panama Rum, aged for 26 years and bottled at 47.2%.

  The rum is produced by Varela Hermanos, the Panamanian family company behind the historic Hacienda San Isidro, known for its work with the older sibling rum Ron Abuelo. Ron Dos Mares is distilled from molasses on continuous column stills and aged locally in American oak casks, where Panama's warm, humid climate between the two oceans drives a faster, more intense maturation than in cooler climates. The 1998 vintage is the oldest in the brand's Vintage series, given a full 26 years to develop its character.

  The result is a deep, dark rum, where mahogany-toned dried fruit and spice meet a long, structured finish.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Dried fruit, dark caramel and toasted oak.

  Palate

  Deep and spiced with raisin, tobacco and a hint of cocoa.

  Finish

  Long and warm with lingering oak and spice.

  Did You Know?

  Panama's location between the Pacific and the Atlantic gives it a particular tropical climate, where the heat and humidity significantly accelerate the cask's contact with the rum compared to ageing in cooler regions.

  Bombarda Culverin Blended Dark Caribbean Rum 70 cl 43%

  Item no.: 059763-615-65

  Named after an old type of cannon known for its rapid rate of fire - "coulverine", or "grass snake" in French - this rum is built to sneak up with a rapid burst of flavour.

  Expert Description

  Bombarda Culverin is a Blended Dark Caribbean Rum, 5-8 years old, aged on bourbon and white oak casks, bottled at 43%.

The rum is meticulously tropically aged on bourbon and white oak casks, giving a flavourful and cunning punch.

  The Bombarda name generally draws on military-historical references, and Culverin is just one example of how the brand uses these throughout its releases.

  Item no.: 22227865395-2021-05-0033

  Five different cask types and rums between 8 and 25 years old meet in one bottle – an unusually intricate puzzle for a Ron de Guatemala.

  Expert description

  Ron Botran Rare Blend Guatemalan Oak is a Ron de Guatemala, blended from rums matured between 8 and 25 years and bottled at 40%.

  Rare Blend is dynamically matured across five different cask types: American Whiskey oak, toasted American Whiskey oak, sherry casks, port casks and Guatemalan oak. This combination of cask types, together with the broad age spread, gives the rum an unusually layered complexity, where the Guatemalan oak in particular contributes a deep, distinctive wood note not found in the house's other releases.

  Deep wood aroma characteristic of Guatemalan oak, with hints of vanilla, nuts, dried fruit and spice.
