Mount Gay Master Blender Collection #6: PX Sherry Cask Expression Rum

Mount Gay Master Blender Collection #6: PX Sherry Cask Expression Rum is the sixth annual Master Blender release from the world's oldest running rum distillery — a Barbados rum bottled at 45% ABV (90 proof) in a 700mL bottle. Master Blender Trudiann Branker blended pot- and column-still rums from some of the oldest stocks in Mount Gay's bonds — aged 20 years in ex-American whiskey casks in Barbados' tropical heat — then finished the blend for one additional year in Pedro Ximénez sherry wine casks. Non-chill-filtered, no added color, and limited to just 4,200 bottles worldwide. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Twenty Years, Then One More in Sherry

Two decades of tropical aging in Barbados does things to rum that continental aging cannot — the heat and humidity drive the spirit deep into the wood, building burnt oak, toasted vanilla, and deep aromatic intensity. Then comes the PX finish: a year in Pedro Ximénez casks that folds in stewed fruit, dark cherry, plum, and salted-nut roundness without sweetening the spirit. It is Mount Gay's oldest-stock showcase wearing a sherry accent — and at 4,200 bottles, a genuine collector's pour. See more from Mount Gay or browse the rum collection.

Tasting Notes

Stewed plums, salted caramel, toasted oak, and nutmeg on the nose; earthy vanilla, dark cherry, salted peanuts, banoffee pie, and cinnamon on the palate; long, dark, sweet finish (per Master of Malt's tasting note).

How to Enjoy

Neat — per the brand — or with a single large ice cube. Save it for elevated occasions and relaxed company; this is a sipping rum for people who appreciate curated flavor.
