no, not extra old. it's the regular bottle, and the label says mt. gay barbados sugar cane rum. beige with a yellow map. i can't find it anywhere online, even on the mt. gay website.

it's the regular shaped bottle, i should say.
for clarification purposes, what i consider regular mt. gay is the mt. gay eclipse. white label, yellow map.
this one is called mt. gay barbados sugar cane rum. it was $20, shelved with the fancy boozes. it's gotta be their bottom shelf variety, all sugar and edges.

wiki: Mount Gay produces a "Pure Sugar Cane Rum" occasionally known outside of the US market as "Sugar Cane Brandy".
!
― amon, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 15:56 (fifteen years ago) link
Mount Gay Sugar Cane Brandy, a careful blend of specially selected rums of age up to seven years, is a fine product whose link with the sugar cane of Barbados is proudly reflected in its character. Not to be confused with generic 'brandy', the product is entirely rum. The name is a legacy from times when the product contained such a high proportion of double distillate that its organoleptic characteristics were much like those of brandy. In some markets, because of legal restrictions, the name 'Sugar Cane Rum' is used in place of the original name 'Sugar Cane Brandy'. (From the Mount Gay Rum website)

No, you didn't misread. The above title claims this review is for Mount Gay Sugar Cane Rum, but the label calls it brandy. I just learned the hard way that they're one and the same. It seems that in some states Mount Gay is required by law to label their brandy as rum - either way, it ain't rum, and it certainly ain't good. I used it to remove a nasty clog from my drain, and it didn't even do a very good job of that. The flavor was vaguely reminiscent of shoe leather soaked in vinegar. If you think that sounds appealing, give it a shot. Otherwise, I'd stay clear.
wtf kind of law is that, that's lame

― lxy, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 16:21 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah, totally stupid law. if it had been labeled properly i wouldn't have bought it.
