Rum Shark Mount Gay 2007
Bourbon drinkers who want a dry-ish, oaky Barbados will get this one fast: vanilla, caramel, milk chocolate, roasted almonds and a wood-and-polish edge. At 67.3% the alcohol runs hot — a few tasters say it needs water and find the palate a little flat. One regular calls it among his favorite Mount Gays; others shrug it off as pleasant but nothing unusual.

How does Rum Shark Mount Gay 2007 taste?
Aggregated from 21 community reviews.
Oaky, vanilla-led Barbados that runs hot A pleasant, classic Barbados with vanilla, chocolate and oak. The catch is the heat — several found the high ABV too present and the flavor slightly flat. Opinions land middling.

Review by Johannes
Der Alkohol ist viel zu präsent und müsste verdünnt werden. Geschmacklich etwas flach.

Mount Gay pěkná kombinace chemie, koření a čerstvě nařezaného dřeva, pylin. Jeden z mých nejoblíbenějších MG.
