Origin : Mount Gay Rum is probably the oldest rum in the world... A tattered title deed confirms that rum production on the Mount Gay Estate in Barbados was well underway in 1703. In those days, the making of good rum took precedence over its documentation. Little did they know they were making history.
The Mount Gay Estate was originally called Mount Gilboa and was located in the Northern parish of St. Lucy. In 1801 it was re-named to honour the late estate caretaker and eminent son of Barbados, Sir John Gay Alleyne. A Mount Alleyne was already in existence, so the Estate became Mount Gay, and that is how it has remained to this day.
