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.

Don't really know what to say about this sipper. It has a pounch in its alcohol taste but its not the most taste worthy rum. Not to bad but I would go for something more tasty ifs could.

Ah, the aroma is great but there's too much alcohol burn. It's almost great. Just needs a tiny bit of refinement. Worth a buy for the price.

Rather strong rum, taste of oak & bourbon, a bit vanille, strong and a bit smoked finish.
Average.

It's odd this one is so heavy on the 6-8 rating split.

Definite bourbon notes here, but as a warming, smoky oaked rum with a hint of maple, this is eminently enjoyable and worth a try. Only a slight burn at the end to remind you you're drinking rum.

Good for mixing, I can make some fire mojitos with this, not meant for sipping. I’ve tasted neat and its just not hitting the mark for me, you can taste a lot of the ethanol flavor. Nice lookig bottle tho.

Velmi bourbonovy rum na moj vkus, malo sladky, resp vobec. Vona bourbon/whisky a citim tam vypalene sudy, chut - keby som robil ochutnavku na slepo tak tipujem whisky alebo bourbon...

Bodovo ak hodnotim ako rum tak slaba 6tka.

Ale kto ma rad malo sladky rum, chut whisky tak tento typ rumu oceni...

Celkovo je to dobre pitie - kupil by som ho este raz, ale ako rum ma sklamal :/

A light woody rum, with a punch. Its spicy. Black barrel is interesting and not what I am used to from Mount Gay. I am not blown away by this. I can appreciate what they are going for, however. Its punchy, as a result the finish is not delicate. Its maybe harsher than it should be, but maybe thats the body they are going for. Mount gay has been experimenting, this and their 1703 master select show this. But like that, this isn't for me. Along with the profile of this rum and the roughness in its body. I have to give it an average rating.

I cant drink that. Really. Single or with cola this taste like shieeet! I love Pirate rons smells like carmel & barrel with spices. Black Barrel - I thought this ron will be based at black pirates barrel taste. This is pharmaceutical taste of vodka with colour... I never drunk shieeet ron like this. Even Capitan Morgan Shieeet Black Spiced wasnt Shieeet like this.... If you are a pirate... dont buy this! You will be trully dissapoitment!
