Mount Gay Black Barrel

It's somewhat on the sweeter side and it does burn a bit more, but I don't mind either.

Black barrel element is surely strong and because of it this really reminds me of a moderate whisky. Someone might like it, but next time I will be in the mood for whisky, I will buy whisky.

It seems to be quite decent rum, flavourful. It's tastes more like whiskey/bourbon than rum and is a bit too harsh for my taste. Definitely worth a try with high probability that you enjoy it.

Solid rum. Is a little bit too bitter for my taste

Initial smell wasn’t very good - chemical/alcohol. Then I’m thinking … oh no. But then I sipped. I’m an advanced intermediate rum drinker - by no means an expert.

I could taste the caramel immediately, but in a good way. To me, it’s not as sweet as Diplomatico Reserva. Reminded me of Brach’s caramel candy squares I used to eat as a kid.

No burn, no bad after taste. And after a few great sips, I smelled again and could cleanly smell caramel.

I can’t wait to taste the “better” Dictador’s. But I will say that this was a fine introduction. I look forward to sipping XO.

But in the meantime, I’m going to enjoy the rest of the bottle. For $25 US, I’d say it is one hell of a rum. I’m kinda sad that it was the last bottle at TWN & they didn’t have a label on the shelf, so it was the last bottle :(

Can’t believe that the coffee and orange bottles were a higher price. I definitely recommend giving it a try!

But certainly not a "special" occasions rum. Pretty tasty, albeit lacking complexity.

I actually didn’t mind this one. The oak and that bit of char that comes through. But to me it was a mixer with some coke and it was phenomenal.

A sharp taste of alcohol but a long after taste of oak.

Oak taste is very good. Not too crazy about it as a sipping rum.
