Nice taste, you can taste the different accents you want in a rum

Can't say too much bad stuff about this. Solid overall, not too harsh but you can certainly taste the char. I certainly taste some caramel, vanilla and a little bit of chocolate on this one, but it always ends with the char.

If bourbon is your choice of drink, this is your choice of rum. On the rocks for me

Un nez hyper intรฉressant qui invite tout de suite ร  la dรฉgustation mais un gout beaucoup plus lourd, l'impression de base dรฉgringole assez vite. C'est assez long, aromatisรฉs mais il en reste un arriรจre gout de dรฉception

Excellent oaky rum.

First tried during this during the Mount Gay tour.

I had intended to by the XO on my last trip to the States, but couldn't find it, so I settled for the Black Barrel statement. What a disappointment. None of the sophistication of the XO. Why even make such an inferior edition when the price difference is but a few measly dollars? The only good thing I can say is that upon opening it was more like a '2', but after a couple of weeks it calmed down a little and I could actually almost enjoy a shot of it. But I highly recommend spending the few extra bucks to get the XO.

J'apprรฉcie les Rhum de la Barbade. Aussi je voulais goรปter les Mount Gay et j'ai commencรฉ par le Black Barrel. Ce n'est pas un mauvais rhum. On retrouve les caractรฉristiques des rhums que j'aime (plutรดt sec et frais, fruits exotiques avec une pointe d'รฉpices), mais pour moi il manque de complexitรฉ et de longueur en bouche.
Rapport qualitรฉ/prix dรฉcevant.
A essayer peut-รชtre en cocktail.

Une attaque trรจs (trop) forte mais avec des notes subtil de mรฉlasse dans un second temps. Pas autant aromatique qu'un XO mais il se laisse boire !
