Mount Gay Black Barrel 43% is a bold Barbados rum, a blend of pot- and column-still rums aged in deeply charred ex-bourbon barrels. It offers a full-bodied, spice-forward profile with vanilla, caramel, and oak, complemented by dark chocolate and subtle tropical fruit notes. A versatile sipper or mixer that holds up in bold cocktails.

- Palate: Full-bodied and smooth; flavors of brown sugar, caramel, dark chocolate, vanilla, baking spices, and a touch of coconut and banana.
- Finish: Warm, spice-driven, with lingering oak, cocoa, and a hint of coffee.
