Single Estate Edition 3 Rum

Released in 2025, the third instalment in Mount Gay's innovative Single Estate series takes us on the next chapter of the Barbados distillery's adventures in homegrown sugar cane, headed up by master blender Truidanne Branker. For this edition, Branker decided to capture the 2024 sugar cane harvest, grown entirely on the Mount Gay Estate in St. Lucy, Barbados. The cane was processed and converted into molasses in-house, fermented for an average of nine days before distillation on Mount Gay’s rare 100% copper Coffey still. It’s one of only two remaining functioning Coffey Stills in the world, and lay in pieces spread around the estate for decades before the team lovingly resurrected it and learned how to work it. This is the first unaged rum to join the series. With notes of brown sugar, sweet stone fruit, orchard fruit, and subtle waves of freshly cut grass, it captures the vibrancy and terroir that Branker and the team are so excited to explore and eager to showcase. The bottle is made from 20-30% recycled glass. Minimal ink is used on the label, which instead includes a QR code that you can scan to access a huge wealth of info, from processing and harvest stats to the different cultivars of sugar cane grown, and observations from the distillery’s team, from farming supervisors to Branker in the blending room.
