Production method
Produced from molasses using pot stills (double-retort / copper) with triple distillation practiced for some expressions; ageing and cask type vary depending on the bottling (e.g. ex-bourbon or ex-French brandy in certain batches).
Distillation
Triple distillation (for the known Mount Gilboa expressions) in copper pot stills (double-retort); 100% pot-still production for the cited versions.
Ageing
Tropical climate ageing; casks vary depending on the bottling (e.g. ex-bourbon, in some cases ex-French brandy).
Producer history Mount Gilboa
The name "Mount Gilboa" recalls the historic toponym of the company now known as Mount Gay; from the 2000s it was used as a designation for a line of rums produced in Barbados, connected to the Ward family and characterized by small batches. Some stocks were allocated to special bottlings and marketed in numbered editions (e.g. bottles intended for distributors/independent bottlers).
Production philosophy
Focus on 100% pot-still rum, with multiple distillations and limited runs to express a concentrated character and intense congeners, favoring bottlings that highlight the Barbadian pot-still style.
Territory
Barbados (Caribbean), production tied to the same historic site/distillery associated with the Mount Gay / Saint Lucy area.
