Mount Gay Master Blender Collection Pot Still Rum 2009
One taster's "boom!" of polish and solvent on the nose is the first surprise here, and not everyone's onboard. This is a smoky, pot-still Mount Gay with eucalyptus, leather, baking apples and burnt sugar. Several find it medicinal and metallic; others call it unusually full-bodied for the distillery, almost scotch-like with peat and salt. Distilled 2009, 10 years old, bottled at 48%.
- Full body
- Smoky complexity
- Eucalyptus and leather

A nice full bodied rum with a nice % giving it a nice balance. Very nice indeed.
Review by Anonymous
Great rum, the alcohol is perfectly integrated. The rum is really fun.
Review by Portman
Für einen MG ausgesprochen vollmundig, fast schwer auf der Zunge, aber in einem sehr positiven Sinne. Eine schöne, fast "scotchige" Holz-Salz-Torf-Note mit gerade ausreichender Süße und hintergründiger, schwacher Frichtigkeit. Außergewöhnlich und richtig gut.
Review by Tim
Completely contrary to expectations - very round nose with lots of fruit, honey, toffee and herbal notes. The whole is complemented by some chocolate and vanilla. A little smokier in the mouth, now with a lot of almond influence, but always herbal and fruity. The finish is also wonderful, delivering more chocolate in places, but also strong menthol and smoke. The 48% is within reason and offers intense aromas. Compared to the Andean Oak, the nose is a little weaker, but the mouth experience is better.
Review by Aussierumfan
A nice rum from Mount gay, alcahol well integrated, for me a nice easy drinking strength. I am getting fruits, mention and a certain level of smokiness. Not every rum needs to be a cask strength bruiser! Quite a short finish.
Review by Basti
An der Nase sehr medizinisch/metallisch, gelbe Früchte, etwas Honig, Gewürze, Holz, Diesel/Benzin und Karamell. Am Gaumen finden sich die Aromen wieder. Holt mich nicht so ganz ab, da mir diese metallischen/medizinischen Noten zu dominant sind.
Review by David Sharman
Strangely at 48% it feels too light. Like a very watered down version of Chairmans Reserve Vendome still. Still good, but I think an ABV of 55% would have significantly lifted it.
Review by alex
It is good, it is round, but not transcendent either. Quite short for the length in mouth, I am not more excited than that.
Review by Adrien B
Nez excellent soir l'épice, vanille ambiance Club, parquet Bouche attaque puissante un peu tannique épices poivre noir alcool mal intégré ou besoin de plus d'aération. Décalage entre la bouche et le nez
Review by Tschusikowsky
A good rum, the bottle was fun to drink. Special flavor profile. The full body is good. It has a tingling acidity on the tongue, like a battery. I also like the cherry notes.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Very very strange distillate.... Yellow fruits, charcoal and slightly sour... I don't have to have it again... I wouldn't have expected this from mount gay. Overall disappointing for me, sorry.
