Mount Gay Rum is the oldest running rum distillery in the world and has been in the business for over 300 years, so you know you can look to it for your new favorite holiday beverage. From its base at the northern tip of Barbados, Mount Gay uses pure, coral-filtered water and the finest Barbadian and Caribbean molasses to create a masterful range of spirits, offering options for your novice to your experts and everyone in between. If you’re looking for a seasonal sipper, consider Mount Gay Rum’s XO : a triple-cask blend matured in whiskey, bourbon and cognac casks for 5 to 17 years. This process yields notes that read like a decadent holiday dessert – salted caramel, baked fig, clove and dark chocolate. An exceptionally smooth and creamy body and long finish make it the perfect sipping rum. Serve it neat or make yourself a holiday beach vacation in a glass, with a cube of frozen coconut water to bring out a hint of XO’s tropical origins. Bring this small batch reserve rum to your holiday table this season. Price: $65 SHOP NOW
