The second spirit in the single harvest year in this series, it was crafted by Master Blender Trudiann Branker. This limited release is a blend of two pot still distillations rums from the 2019 Mount Gay Estate sugar cane harvest in St Lucy, Barbados. It was matured for five years in American oak ex-bourbon barrels.
According to the brand, the result is a complex, memorable 55% ABV rum that begins with a nose of green apple, red fruits, white roses, jasmine, toffee, vanilla, and gingerbread. The palate is a symphony of flavors including cherry, red fruits, salty smoke, oak, and floral hints. The finish is pleasantly bitter with notes of caramel and red fruits.
“This warm Bajan golden hour landscape is reflected in the stunning orange label, 25 representing for the release year, 04 for the release number in the series,” said Branker.
“Vt19 refers to the single year sugar cane harvest from 2019 used in this expression, and dp stands for the blending of distillates from two distinct pot still distillations.”
