Sip this one neat and give it time in the glass. The nose pulls you in — glue, honey, yellow fruit, even mango and cherry — before the palate turns drier: oak, mint, tobacco and a medicinal, almost whisky-like streak. Several tasters find the wood a touch heavy and the palate less exciting than the nose promises, but it's an unusual Mount Gay worth exploring.

How does Mount Gay Master Blender Collection - Andean Oak Cask taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Dry, woody, medicinal Mount Gay with a fruity nose Most agree it's a very good, genuinely unusual Mount Gay — inviting fruity-glue nose, dry woody palate. The common catch: the Andean oak leans a bit heavy and the finish falls short of the nose.

Most helpful positive review
A beautiful nose that gets off to a strong start: harmonious, very fruity and herbal with a clear honey note. Unfortunately a little unbalanced in the mouth and finish, a touch too bitter and sour. However, very intense despite only 48%, which I found positive. All in all, a good rum with a proud price.

Very unusual Mount Gay! The extra year in the Andean Oak is definitely noticeable. Alcohol is very well integrated and not too thin either. Flavor is rather herbal and spicy dry. Somewhat reminiscent of the mount gilboa from velier Warren Khong and the other velier mount gay bottlings. So really warm I do not get with the profile but.... Nevertheless, probably the most unusual mount gay of the Special Editions and quite exciting.
Review by Joachim Guger
A nose that's hard to describe. Nice glue notes, honey, spices, and fruity. Very balanced, not too weak, not too strong. On the palate almost like a whisky.🤣 Honey, spice, dry and heather. The aging in oak barrel fits perfectly.👌 Nice sparkling finish with good spice. You can tell this was crafted with skill and craftsmanship. But it still lacks quite a bit to reach the top tier; the flavor profile is too generic.

05.04.2024 Mount Gay Extreme Rare online tasting mit Dirk. Retasting and I stick to my initial score. ----------------------- Another nice release. I sampled this rum at the GRF and bought a bottle to bring home. Nicely balanced and fruity with some wood. The flavours come at you from opening the bottle and in the empty glass you get a lovely nose even the day after sampling.
Review by Timo Groeger
And then today the last samples from Tim, which have been sitting around here for what feels like forever. This Mont Gay is definitely a great rum, with a medicinal nose, leather and clover, then wood and mint on the palate. Delicious :-)
Review by Oliver
Great pear associations. Then floral on the palate and a wet wood note. The Madeira cask, however, is again ne quality ribs on it.
Review by Andi
At the rare tasting with Dirk at RumDepot. and was very enthusiastic at first. After an hour in the glass, however, it deteriorates extremely. Glue, spices, essential oils on the nose, then rather fruity and woody on the palate. Not for every day, but still very interesting.
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Heard good stuff about this one. Smell: instantly delicious. A weird but inviting balance between glue and yellow fruits. Taste: wow. Interesting mouthfeel. Somewhat starchy. Pencil shavings. Lots a mango. Love it. Very very good.
Review by Portman
For me, the weakest of the Master Blender Collection so far, although the grumbling is at a very high level. Round and soft, some banana, little fig and vanilla. For me, just a little too much wood shines through. The bottom line is a great rum!
Review by Rumbaer
As many have already written, an unusual Mount Gay and you wouldn't guess it blind. Has agricole-like vegetal notes, slightly medicinal, spicy and woody. An interesting rum at a proud price.
Review by R Wehner
Nose strong wood impression, a bit of glue and herbs, tongue slightly sharp, Mount gay character goes down slightly, decent wood influence, also herbs again, unfortunately not my taste
Review by Rum man
The nose is fruitier than I expected from Mount Gay. It is mostly cherry for me. Next to that you recognize the MG profile. It is a very friendly and inviting smelling rum. It almost leans a bit towards Beenleigh in terms of fruitiness. Not necessarily the same profile but the same emphasis on fruitiness. In the mouth you get the MG profile again. The wood is also there; the rum is quite dry and astringent. There is some fruitiness but nothing like the nose. The finish lingers in that dry wood, there is a slight hint of tobacco and nail polish remover. It does not get bitter however. The Andean oak gives an unique twist to this Mount Gay. The nose is very promising but it falls a bot short on the palette.

Mount gay degustation 13.1.2025
Review by Roman Lelek
Barbados I like it...in the aroma and then in the taste there are a little technical elements like in Jamaica, in the background there is a smell of wood...the taste is balanced, it is not sweet. Shame about the slightly shorter finish, the rum seems to end quickly...for me a hilarious piece and I could imagine having a whole bottle in the bar.
Review by Balu
The wooden barrel is not mine
Review by Radek Brix
A pleasant mintiness appears in the taste, the rum has a long dry, slightly minty finish, and a slight bitterness appears at the end. Technical or medicinal notes predominate in the aroma of this rum.
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
With 8.4 out of 10 this is a very good bottle, though not the top of my ranking.
Review by Michal Jurka
I tasted all Master Blenders besides Sherry and I liked Andean the most. Probably unpopular opinion.
