TRUDIANN BRANKER IS THE FIRST FEMALE MASTER BLENDER IN BARBADOS.

MOUNT GAY

Founded more than three centuries ago in Barbados, the Mount Gay distillery benefits from unique expertise in the making of exceptional rums. Underpinned by a strong heritage , it perpetuates ancestral know- how while exploring new refinements in rum distillation and ageing, taking an authentic and responsible approach.

Since April 2019, the new master blender at Mount Gay , Trudiann Branker, is the first woman to hold this position in Barbados. Her first limited edition, Pot Still Rum in the Master Blender collection , was widely commended by the press and on social media. Likewise, the range's new blends and the brand's new graphic design were very well received by distributors and the media. The installation of solar panels generating 300,000 kWh means the Brandons facility enjoys full electric autonomy, while the fruit tree plantation and installation of new beehives foster biodiversity on the island. 

In 2020 / 2021 , Mount Gay intends to maintain its position on the dynamic high- end rum market with the global launch of a renewed range, spearheaded by XO, the promotion of Black Barrel in the art of cocktail-making, and the launch of a new limited edition.
