Mount Gay Rum is a very important class sponsor for the Young 88 teams and for this we thank you.
For over 300 years, Mount Gay has been produced on the same plantation in Barbados and in 1925, Mount Gay Distilleries, as it is known today, came into existence. Though the first surviving written evidence that rum was being produced in Barbados is a legal deed dated 20th February 1703, the contents of that document is evidence in itself that rum was being produced prior to that date. Most experts believe that it is from as early as 1663 when rum was produced in Barbados, making Mount Gay, the world's oldest rum. |
