Review by Djehey
Edit : après avoir bu une bouteille entière, je le trouve bien. Un profil pâtissier plutôt classique de la Barbade (brioche, vanille, coco, caramel). La touche minéral/métallique que je sentais surtout au début a évolué vers un côté rôti et empyreumatique. Nez et bouche cohérentes. Marqueurs de la Barbade classique. Le nez est plus léger et frais. La bouche a un boisé présent surtout en fin de bouche. Alcool très bien intégré. Très facile à boire. Très agréable mais peu surprenant et peu évolutif. Prix élevé pour ce que c'est. Ce n'est pas un Foursquare mais un mount gay.
Review by Rare Akuma
Tasted at Liquid Leuven ‘23, so my review remains rather concise. A captivating nose which opens sweet and spicy before becoming atypically medicinal. Starts with a combination of caramel-dipped coconut chunks and cask spices. Perhaps even some blueberries. Then quickly cool and musty with resin, licorice and orange gratings. After a while in the glass it evolves towards a mineral aroma of rock-sprawled river, seabreeze and… clingwrap. Incredible evolution. In the mouth clearly less oily, less medicinal, and steered back into regular MG profile. The taste is sweet and woody, with caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, and coconut husks. Hints of balsamic. Malt dominant with a tad of coffee and roasted nuts. A little bit of camphor and minerality survives onto the palate, but much less than wished for. The finish is rather short and very sweet with brown sugar. A fabulous aroma that I could smell for ages, but unfortunately did not entirely make it onto the palate.
Review by Basti
Tasted in direct comparison with the RX5519 (Mount Gay Master Blender Collection Pot Still 48%). There are already parallels, with the RX5519 having slightly more medicinal notes and the TWJ having slightly more roasted/charred notes. In the end, the TWJ came out on top for me, although neither of them really convinced me.
Review by Mentalo
Ein eher zugänglicher alter Mount Gay von The Whisky Jury. Der Alkohol ist besser eingebunden als zum Beispiel bei den beiden Mount Gay der Habitation Velier Reihe. Fruchtig, würzig, ein bisschen Menthol und Holz.
Review by zabo
Schöne Abfüllung, besser als gedacht. Klare Marker aus Barbados erkennbar. Schöner Rum von Mount Gay, macht Lust auf mehr. Sowas pur als auch als Mixer sehr interessant. Vielen Dank an SaibotZtar dass du mich überzeugt hast ein Sample davon zu nehmen. War eine gute Entscheidung. Aber für mich als Foursquare Fanboy doch ein Mount Gay, weil es ja mal diese Irritationen gab.
Review by SaibotZtar
Amazingly fruity . Coconut, orange and dried fruit... Somewhat musty woody but somehow interesting and delicious . I'm not really a big Barbados fan but it's delicious. It's also for me 100% not a Foursquare but a Mount Gay that you smell and taste immediately ... very enjoyable 😋
