Three cask types in one bottle. Whisky, bourbon and cognac have each left their mark on this rum before melting together into one whole.
Expert description
Mount Gay XO Triple Cask Blend Reserve is a Rum from Barbados, matured in American whiskey, bourbon and cognac casks and bottled at 43%.
The rum is part of Mount Gay's XO series and builds on the distillery's long experience combining pot still and column distillates. By combining three different cask types, the rum achieves layers of complexity, where the whiskey and bourbon casks contribute vanilla and spice, while the cognac cask adds a delicate, dry fruitiness and a hint of dried orange peel.
