Review by DomM
Out of a small MG cross tasting: Rum Mercenary is the most lifely with some floral notes while the other three have a more similar profile. Rum Cask is very well balanced and approchable. RumClub feels the most intense with some funky notes. The Duchess is the most elegant out of the bunch and my personal winner.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
sehr stechend und scharf, Alkohol nicht gut eingebunden und absolut überholzt und metallisch. schade! davon hab ich deutlich mehr erwartet.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,4:On the nose, the first impression is very pleasant with roasted wood notes like nuts, especially hazelnut, chocolate, honey, spices like vanilla, cardamom, there are tropical fruits like toasted coconut, unripe banana, then dried apricots, red fruits and peaches. On aeration, the molasses is fresh, earthy and floral. More bourbon ageing notes are present, there are also some anise, nutmeg. 7,8:On the palate, the attack is quite intense and imbalanced with bitter, spicy wood notes like cardamom, pepper, nutmeg. The wood is roasted with nuts like almond, cream toffee, toasted coconut, citrus balance the chaos a bit, make the rum more fresh. Some rest doesn't help much as strong camphor arises and overpowers other notes.Pleasant notes like chocolate, banana, integral confectionery, flowery molasses stay underneath. 8,1:The finish is long, dry, with roasted, spicy wood notes, earthy, there is some soft tobacco, banana, dried apricot and a bit less intense camphor...
Review by Christoph
Sweet fruit notes and milk chocolate dominate, but there is also something earthy on the nose and finish that doesn't really go with it.
Review by Christian Rudt
Nase schön fruchtig würzig. Am Gaumen dagegen sehr trocken und fasslastig. Dabei durchaus komplex allerdings auch zu spürbar alkoholisch.
Review by zabo
Nach langer Zeit mal wieder probiert. Dank dem Sample von Jonas. Für mich immer noch eine sehr gute Mount Gay Abfüllung von TheRumCask. Das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis ist hier mal wieder mehr als gerechtfertigt.
Review by HenryL
Spannende Nase, hätte da nie auf Barbados getippt. Für mich ist Klebstoff sehr dominant, gepaart mit erdigen Noten und Muskat. Eine fruchtige Säure ist auch da, erinnert an Johannisbeeren, die wird von einer noch nicht reifen Banane begleitet. Im Mund eine Mischung aus Holz und Gewürzen. Lecker, passt für mich aber nicht zur Nase und erinnert insgesamt eher an Whisky als an Rum. Frucht und florale Noten fehlen beinahe vollkommen. Im Abgang kommt aber eine angenehme Tabaknote dazu.
Review by Rodolphe
Comparaison de 3 Mount Gay 2000 hier soir avec deux amis : The rum mercenary : un nez très gourmand, sur la pâte d'amande et quelques fruits jaunes. Super agréable. La bouche est dans la ligne du nez sans surprise. Au final c'est bon mais ça manque un peu de complexité. The rum cask : aucun doute c'est vraiment le même rhum à peu de choses près. Ici le bois se fait plus de place au nez mais aussi en bouche, et entraine une finale un peu amère. Cela rend le nez plus sympa sur ce rhum. The duchess : on sent bien encore une fois qu'on est sur le même rhum mais le profil est plus boisé. Sauf que étonnement c'est mieux integré que sur le rum cask, plus équilibré et gourmand. Au final le meilleur des 3 pour nous hier soir.
Review by DosenZorn
Probiert als 2cl Sample. Vom Geruch her hatte ich direkt nach dem eingießen Assoziationen zu Apfelessig und geräucherten Holz, gefolgt von getrockneten Früchten und Vanille. Geschmacklich für einen kurzen Moment Früchte und leicht alkoholisch und danach ne ordentliche Portion Holz, dadurch ziemlich Bitter, das lässt aber recht schnell auch wieder nach. Jedoch ist das Profil recht eintönig, bleibt aber im Abgang sehr lange bestehen. Ne Flasche für derzeit (07/02/2022) 77€/0,5l würd ich mir nicht holen, das sample war aber interessant.
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
We tasted four Mount Gay 2000 releases at the Rum-X Community Tasting. The tasting was very entertaining, but the rums only contributed a small part. Overall, the rums were super similar, with the differences being in the nuances. Personally, I don't like the profile as much, as it just lacks fruit. The Rum Cask is the most herbal of the round resin and gasoline otherwise, the is very similar to the rest from the batch. Fruit is hard to find here, at most lemon zest and some apricot in the background. Interestingly, I perceive the ums today anderss than in the community tasting before.This is particularly unfruity and perhaps the one I like the least well.
Review by Thunderbird
In der Nase ist er extrem fruchtig und mild! Pfirsich und Aprikose strömen sofort auf! Später etwas Vanille! Insgesamt sehr mild und angenehm! Am Gaumen ist er zunächst pfeffrig, mit Holz und leicht röstig! Der Alkohol ist recht gut eingebunden! Der Abgang ist mittellang und holzig trocken!
Review by Timo Groeger
Schöne Abfüllung von the Rum Cask. Rolle Nase bestehend ausVanille und Gewürze. Am Gaumen dann ebenfalls, hier kommt dann aber noch der holzige Geschmack hinzu, sowie eine leichte Fruchtigkeit bestehend aus Zitrusfrüchten.
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Pretty easy going Mount Gay. Subtle flavours. A bit of cask, but more spirit driven. Vanilla. Apple. Somewhat dusty but also pretty fresh. Not bad. not fantastic either. Like to retry.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Another slightly older tasting. A great release where you get a lot for your money. Fruity with nice spices and roasted wood. The empty glass has some caramel and light medicinal notes.
