Un rhum fort sympathique, son côté fumé et fruité m'a plu, sans pour autant être très complexe.
J'en garde globalement un bon souvenir.

Díky sudu krásná barva a skvělá chuť. Ne tak uhlazeny jako XO, ale i tak velmi pitelny.

Bought as a gift for father-in-law's birthday, and surely a good choice it was. We drunk it neat, but I believe Black Barrel would do a great job as a mixer/on the rocks. However, as a personal choice, for neat drinking I'd rather spend a little more money and go for XO.

Very light without much depth. Slightly sweeter than regular Mt Gay and a bit smoother with one cube. Batrtender charged me for 1703 $25 for a short pour. I explained to her she didn’t serve me 1703 showed her the difference she just said that thats what we ring it at. So maybe it was a 7.

Røget på tungen, sød i duft og fyldig eftersmag. God til dem der normalt nyder whisky.

I prefer my rum to taste like rum and not whiskey/boubon. To me it just had too much of a whiskey taste for my liking.

The classic coconut on the nose. The taste is dry oaked coconut with a short pop of toffee, which quickly subsides. A tiny bit harsh in the alcohol for the proof, but still a very nice rum if you appreciate a "real" Barbados rum.

Edit: Did a Masterclass with Mount Gay ambassador, Mr Chester Browne, who was really fabulous and a great man. Had this one in the tasting but I think that there was a lot of flavours with my nose (cinnamon, pepper, vanilla) but in my mouth I was disappointed. It was good, don't get me wrong, but I felt betrayed by those promises made to my nose. So that's why I gave it a 6 and not a 7.
Almost a year later I decided to buy myself this bottle to give it another chance, and damn I'm so thankful that I did that. The promises made to my nose were respected. The problem at the masterclass was that this rum stayed in the glass for an hour, and that was maybe good for the xo and the 1703, but was a killer for this one. Spicy, almost funky, it still does have a special taste that leaves a smile on your face as his bigger brothers do, just wanting some more. Mount Gay does it right. Solid 8.
