Mount Gay Rum, The Master Collection 2021 Release, Andean Oak Cask

The limited-edition series debuted in 2018 with the release of XO: The Peat Smoke Expression, created by former Master Blender Allen Smith. In the years following, when Trudiann Branker took the helm as Master Blender, she released award winning expressions ‘Pot Still Rum’in 2019 and ‘The Port Cask Expression’ in 2020.For this year’s small-batch release, Branker turned to Andean oak, a non-traditional wood choice, to explore another layer of aromatic complexity. The casks were used for 11 months to finish the ageing of a single batch of rums distilled twice in traditional copper pot still and aged 14 years in ex-Bourbon casks.
