Mount Gay 1703 Coffey Still Expression Rum

Mount Gay 1703 Edition – Coffey Still Expression: A Tribute to Tradition and Innovation

Celebrate the heritage of Barbadian rum with the Mount Gay 1703 Coffey Still Expression — a rare, limited-edition release crafted exclusively from distillate produced in Mount Gay’s historic copper Coffey still. This expression is a showcase of elegance, precision, and complexity, highlighting the unique character that continuous distillation brings to premium aged rum.

As part of the 1703 Master Select collection, the Coffey Still Expression pays homage to Mount Gay’s legacy of blending tradition with innovation. The rum is aged in ex-American whiskey barrels under the Caribbean sun, then carefully selected by Master Blender Trudiann Branker to represent a singular, refined perspective on Bajan rum.

🔑 Key Characteristics:

• 100% Coffey Still Rum: A rare single-distillation-style expression

• Aged in American Oak: Ex-bourbon cask aging for layers of smooth vanilla, spice, and oak

• Limited Release: Part of the prestigious 1703 Master Series

• Refined and Elegant: Crafted for sipping and collecting — not mass production

• 43–48% ABV (varies by release year): Smooth yet powerful

🥃 Tasting Notes:

• Appearance: Amber-gold with soft copper glints

• Nose: Delicate and inviting — ripe banana, dried apricot, honey, subtle oak, and white pepper

• Palate: Silky and balanced — flavors of vanilla bean, citrus peel, almond, and warm spice unfold gently

• Finish: Long, elegant, and clean with a lingering echo of oak and dried tropical fruit

✨ Why It Stands Out:

• Single Still Expression: Highlights the often-overlooked finesse of continuous distillation

• Heritage Meets Artistry: A rare peek into Mount Gay’s diverse production methods

• Elegant and Accessible: A perfect bridge for whiskey drinkers discovering high-end rum

• Gift-Worthy: Comes in luxury packaging with batch-specific details — ideal for anniversaries or collector displays

• Made by the Oldest Rum Distillery: Since 1703 — a legacy you can taste

🍸 Serving Suggestions:

• Neat in a Glencairn or Tasting Glass: To appreciate the spirit’s structure and nuance

• With a Drop of Water: Softens the spice and reveals floral and nutty notes

• Elegant Cocktails: Try it in a Rum Manhattan or Old Fashioned for a sophisticated twist

• Cigar or Cheese Pairing: Beautifully pairs with creamy cheeses or mild cigars

🏆 Overall Impression:

Mount Gay 1703 Coffey Still Expression Rum is a refined exploration of rum’s lighter side — a textbook example of how continuous distillation can yield character, depth, and elegance when paired with expert aging and blending. It's an essential bottle for collectors, spirits enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a rum that’s as historic as it is graceful.
