Last night, Miguel Smith, the International Brand Ambassador of Mount Gay, hosted a sensory and blending session in our Wine Room at Victoria Park. Miguel successfully transformed our concrete tasting room into an aromatic chamber in the Caribbean, where we were master blenders; sipping the local's cocktail of Black Barrel and Fentimans ginger beer, watching the sun set. His passion for the world's oldest Rum brand is very authentic and contagious; as he shared with us not only the history of the distillery but the craftsmanship and culture. Individually, we all blended our own signature; using aged and un-aged pot and column still distillates that make up the XO and Black Barrel Rums. Miguel selected three winning blenders of the night; each taking home something special. All that attended this tasting have gained a new insight of the aromas and qualities of Mount Gay Rum. Bring on another Rum tasting.
