For those unaware, Mount Gay is the world’s oldest continuously running rum distillery, with a history dating back to 1703. It produces a myriad of award-winning rums, including Mount Gay XO, Mount Gay Eclipse, and others. Recently, the renowned brand announced the launch of a new premium white rum that you’ll want to add to your home bar cart for the holiday season and beyond.

Mount Gay Silver

Crafted by Master Blender Trudiann Branker, this white rum is a blend of unaged column still rum and pot still-distilled rum that was matured for two years in ex-American whiskey barrels. It’s double-filtered through charcoal to remove the caramel color and any impurities.

According to Mount Gay, the result is a sippable, mixable rum loaded with flavors like citrus peels, caramelized pineapple, toffee, grapefruit, butterscotch, and cane sugar. It’s the perfect rum for elevating a classic Daiquiri, Mojito, and other rum-based drinks.

“Mount Gay Silver is a classic I deeply cherish, rooted in the heart of Barbados and the Caribbean. I’m thrilled to see our beloved white rum launch in the US on-trade, empowering bartenders to elevate white rum cocktails and extending our authentic island craft to even broader horizons,” Trudiann Branker, Mount Gay Master Blender, says.

Where can I buy it?

Perfect for the home mixologist, Mount Gay Silver is now available in select U.S. retailers. This 80-proof expression is available in a liter size. The price hasn’t yet been disclosed. Visit mountgayrum.com to learn about this and all of the brand’s other rums.

Tequila Corralejo Introduces Smaller Bottle For the First Time in More Than 250 Years

Alcohol, Beer, Beverage

If you’ve walked into a Mexican bar or restaurant, chances are you’ve noticed the big blue bottle of tequila. Corralejo is famous for its tall, slim bottles that come in 750 milliliters and 1.75 liters. The 750-milliliter bottle is the standard size you’ve probably become familiar with. Corralejo also has clear bottles for its Blanco, red bottles for its Añejo, and a tall, round, bright blue bottle for its Triple Distilled Tequilas, among other shapes and types.

It’s been this way for decades and decades. But for the first time, Corralejo is meeting the demand for smaller, easily digestible, and giftable bottles. Arriving ahead of Hispanic Heritage Month and Mexican Independence Day in September, Corralejo is introducing the 375ml Reposado bottle, which aims to create “a timely entry point into Tequila Corralejo’s more than 250 years of tequila-making heritage, while offering a right-sized option for intimate gatherings, gifting, and cocktail occasions.”
