Every great story begins with a time and a place. For Mount Gay Rum that time and place is the Caribbean Island of Barbados in 1703. Rum, originally called “Kill-Devil” by the Barbadians who first distilled it, is truly a product of the island.

For over 300 years, rum, distilled from sugar cane and its byproduct, molasses, has been the Caribbean’s coveted spirit. Once a popular, if rustic, favorite of everyone from pirates to the Royal Navy, the rum of today includes high-end bottlings and a fanbase of serious spirits lovers. Whether mixed into innovative cocktails or slowly sipped after dinner, it has broad-ranging appeal and diverse character.
