Mount Gay’s first Coffey Still release since its reactivation in 2019 honors the late distiller Reynold ‘Blues’ Hinds, who had a 50-year career at Mount Gay. The 7th limited edition in the Master Blender Collection, The Coffey Still Expression, is a tribute to Blues, celebrating his legacy. This edition showcases how rum was made in the 19th century with a rare 100% copper Coffey Still, one of only three in use globally.

Blues’ extensive knowledge allowed for the restoration and reactivation of the historic still, now named « Blue’s Still » at Mount Gay. His work has significantly influenced the craft of Mount Gay rum. This release uses 100% Barbados molasses and has aged four years in heavily toasted ex-Bourbon barrels, yielding a rich, floral, and rounded rum with notes of oak, honey, pear, vanilla, nutmeg, and light leather, and a palate of grapefruit, oak, honey, cinnamon, and spice.
