Extremely cool fullproof black barrel! Very round and harmonious, does really well in corn'n'oil! But ended up in my Falernum production, nevertheless a great rum from Barbados that is unfortunately only available locally.
Auto-translated#4167 I have been through quite a few Mount Gays and the top releases are usually pretty good. So is this one. Fruity with roasted wood and a warm and lightly dry palate. Good balance between the flavours and ABV.
Great, well-balanced Mount Gay, I have rarely had this in a glass. Very chocolaty and coconutty, with everything you could wish for: wood, vanilla, caramel, spices. More of this from MG, please. Only criticism: could be more intense, a little thin on the nose for the percentages. A big thank you to Henry :-)
Auto-translatedThe rum needs some time in the glass. Then it has a lovely moisture of dried fruit and orange peel on the nose. It also has a honey sweetness and slight hints of clove. Unmistakably Mount Gay. Woody in the mouth with roasted nuts. Some caramel and banana bread that is too dry. The charred bourbon barrel comes through a little too much for me. In combination, there is an interesting, almost salty note. The finish is then much more pleasing again.
