This Mount Gay Rum Set delivers a full spectrum of Barbados’ finest, from the crisp golden Eclipse, to the robustly spiced Black Barrel, to the decadent, oak aged XO. Crafted at the world’s oldest rum distillery, this trio is a masterclass in island character, cask influence, and blending precision.
