Smooth and flavourful with a gentle burn without harsh aftertaste

Surely one of Mt Gays finest.
Golden colour with a tinge of orange in the glass.
Oak comes to the fore, Smokey and leaves a peppery tingle on the tongue.
IMO far too good to mix.
Enjoy, graham.

While Eclipse is great for just about everything, the black barrel is even better. It seems like a bit of a waste to mix it, but it is a GREAT mixer. Black is smooth and calm straight.

A much better flavour profile than Eclipse. This one is good enough neat with an ice cube, but I would rather drink it with coke and lime.

nice and sweet which is always a winner for me. Decent aftertaste which stays

Charred wood, oak, some spice, sweet sugars and not much else to distract you from enjoying a simple drink. Decent enough in its price range.

Is it tasty? - Not. But I like its bitterness, youth and freshness, like a spring dandelion. It definitely changes mood and the main drawback - youth, beaten by the blend master, so that you feel cheerfulness and freshness. I wouldn't drink it in a cocktail, it's good on itself.

Можно ли его назвать вкусным? - Нет. Но мне нравится его горечь, молодость и свежесть, словно весенний одуванчик. Он определённо создаёт настроение и главный его недостаток - молодость, обыгран мастером бленда так, что вы чувствуете бодрость и свежесть. Я не стала бы пить его в коктейле, он хорош сам по себе.

This rum is very dry and very strong alcohol burn. For all fans of bourbon.

Smooth, oaky, nice abv @43% really enjoyable refreshing taste bought for a bargain which may have influenced my rating but only slightly. Will consider this as a staple. Yum! Edit - just lacks a little funk so dropping to a 6
