Coconut, cedar and roasted espresso up front, with dried fruit and spice underneath — a Velier-bottled Mount Gay that shows the distillery's typically spicy, dry side. Most tasters find it interesting and woody, but at 60% the alcohol keeps poking through; several note a slightly bitter, astringent finish. One reviewer called out a "burning plastic" edge that not everyone loves. Give it long air.
The community says- Coconut and cedar
- Roasted espresso notes
- Keep in mind: Alcohol not integrated

A pretty OK Mount Gay release. Nice and fruity with spices and wood. The ABV could have been better integrated, but it's not off by a lot. A very long and warm finish and the empty glass is nice. Price to quality is so so.

Ah damn, if only there were not this alcoholic note in particular and we would have here a fantastic forest in the glass. On the palate I got some unripe fruit that is slightly tart, I think currant. The finish is joined by bitter orange and a tiny bit of coconut. Tip: Let breathe very long so that the alcohol evaporates somewhat. Otherwise, a tasty treat.
Review by cigares
A nose of Italian pastry. Lots of sweetness obviously, plenty of coconut, marzipan. Then, in the background, tropical fruits and cedar wood supporting it. The first sip is lively but full-bodied and very aromatic, still in a pastry style. The cedar wood increases in the finish.
Review by Steffmaus🇩🇰
Went for a trip to the other side of the country, where I had been informed there was a wide varity of good stuff. The magnum edition gives me a better overall impression, than the 0.7 L. A fruity vanilla sweetness in the nose, and notes of wood, dried fruits and spices. Alcohol could be better integrated.
Review by MarcT
I think now I do recognize Mount Gay when I encounter it, it has (to me at last) usually a quite spicy, hot and dry profile, not my favorite profile, usually. This is no different. Aside from the usuals I get some initial sweetness, that goes away fast to a woody profile that lingers, while spices and pepper take over. The finish is, as usual, quite hot and dry. While the nose had some fruit, the tongue got nothing like that.
Review by Tim
Solid rum, but despite 60% not really intense. For me an average Mount Gay, which comes with classic Barbados notes like caramel, fruit and lots of roasted aromas. Slightly unbalanced finish.
Review by Jakob
One of the better Mount Gay rums I know - but the profile remains too insignificant for me. Alcohol integration seems to be a constant challenge of the distillates, moreover, the flavor spectrum remains overall quite close together. Smoky notes, oak, spices - here for a change with some tropical fruit freshness. Can not inspire me, unfortunately.
Review by DomM
Nose evolves rather quickly from coconuts / cacoa / coffee to something more spicy and musty. Gives the bottling some nice character. Glue persists throughout its lifetime in my glas. Wow, very unexpected on the palate. On the plus side: wood, espresso, some reminisce of wett trees. On the down side: the alcoholic (?) notes remind me of burning plastic or some heavy chemical smell. Well… this is interesting as the taste is very much different from what I expected from a MG bottling. However, I would not rate this „enjoyable“ per se. Nice for the esteemed rum nerd to see something different but nothing I would need any other drop of on top of the sample I just had.
Review by Johannes
I would have blindly guessed Clarendon. On the palate first relatively mild and round, then quite bitter and astringent in the finish. Not so my case.
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Vintage 2007. With 7.4 out of 10, it's a good rum, though not exceptional.
