Well-liked across the board, and a couple of tasters even say it doesn't drink like a typical Barbados at all — the classic Bajan markers get buried under fresh fruit and an almost floral nose. Underneath sits toasted coconut, prune and bitter orange, with a whiff of gas and burnt tire that one reviewer likened to Caroni. Long, warm finish. A 20-year Mount Gay pot still at cask strength, and it shows.

Elegant 20yr Mount Gay, fruity with a petrol edge Consensus is high: an elegant, balanced Mount Gay single cask. One taster preferred the first release, but nobody here calls it anything less than very good.

Review by Giorgio Garotti
Second single cask of mount gay selected by high spirits! A swing of flavors, less intense than the first release but much more elegant! Kudos to high spirits for the quality of these single casks!
Review by Djehey
The only Mount Gay I've ever tried, but probably the best Barbade I've ever tasted! In fact, on the nose and palate, you might wonder whether this is really a Barbade at all. Indeed, especially when you open the bottle, the classic Barbade marker is masked by a debauchery of fresh fruit. In fact, the nose is almost flowery. The result is a rum of great complexity, elegance and superb balance. One of the best rums I've drunk to date. In fact, I've been meaning to post this review for some time now, but the pleasure got in the way! Another tasting. I've only got a third of a bottle left... Holy cow, this rum is a marvel for me. It's now taking on an air of TDL with a few Caroni-like petroleum aromas... Should I get a new bottle?

04-05.11.2022 Den Danske Rom & Whiskyfestival 2022. Another return to this big event where many people go to get drunk. Once again we had a special event for a select set of people. Notes. This is a really good Barbadian rum and I would have loved to have a bottle on my shelves. Fruity and well balanced between spices and roasted wood. Long and warm finish.
Review by Giuseppe Ambrosio
An excellent Mount Gay, very pleasant and balanced on the nose as well as on the palate. I personally liked the first release that is the one with the black bottle better but still I think it's a very good ombottling.
Review by Solidfunk
Initial smell of caramel, maybe creme brulee. A hint of gas. Prune, date. Pours dark golden. In the mouth it takes off a lot more, with burnt tire, prune, toasted coconut. Maybe a hint of plum. Some burn on the finish. Every Bajan run I've had recently has been Foursquare, so nice to try some Mt. Gay stuff for a change. Bottle split thanks to xamsx.

Quite okay, but for the price there are better ones.
