Je偶eli chodzi o ofert臋 rum贸w marki Mount Gay odmiana nazwana Black Barrel stanowi trzeci膮, liczywszy od najbardziej podstawowych odmian rum贸w z portfolio producenta (podstawowa = nie bior膮ca pod uwag臋 edycji specjalnych). Cieszy kartonik (z ciekawymi grafikami r贸wnie偶 wewn膮trz) oraz d臋bowy korek jako zamkni臋cie butelki kt贸ra z kolei jest porz膮dna, z grubego szk艂a a tak偶e s艂usznych rozmiar贸w. Dzisiejszemu opisowi podlega pojemno艣膰 1L kt贸r膮 jak to cz臋sto mam w zwyczaju naby艂em w promocji na lotniskowej strefie duty free. Tym razem by艂 to Bukareszt. Kolejna rzecz na kt贸r膮 mo偶na zwr贸ci膰 uwag臋 to ABV - w tym przypadku 43% alkoholu brzmi zach臋caj膮co co pot臋guje jeszcze indywidualny numer butelki naniesiony na etykiet臋. Tak偶e robi si臋 coraz ciekawiej, a my nawet nie przeszli艣my do zawarto艣ci - mam nadzieje 偶e trunek nas nie zawiedzie.

ZAPACH: Cytrusy, troch臋 beczki, orzeszki cola, toffi. Og贸lnie rum ma zapach niezbyt intensywny ale zach臋caj膮cy.

SMAK: : Mi贸d, melasa, d膮b, wanilia, rodzynki a daleko w tle ananas. S艂odycz delikatnie wyczuwalna - mo偶na j膮 okre艣li膰 jako 艣rednio-niski poziom. Ca艂o艣膰 wie艅czy pieprzne pieczenie wskazuj膮ce na m艂odo艣膰 ale to jedyny jej 艣lad w tym rumie. L贸d w takim wypadku z艂agadza ca艂o艣膰 i robi ja bardziej przyst臋pn膮

Musz臋 przyzna膰 偶e z wra偶eniem jakie niesie za sob膮 prezencja tego rumu r贸wnolegle idzie te偶 i odbi贸r zawarto艣ci - 艂adna prezencja butelki/opakowania 艣wietnie pasuje do zawarto艣ci. Zawarto艣膰 jest instensywna, porz膮dna oraz przyjemna. Oczywi艣cie trzeba bra膰 poprawk臋 i偶 nie jest to idea艂 - wy艣mienitym stwierdzeniem jest 偶e to dobrze zbilansowany rum pod ka偶dym wzgl臋dem. Je偶eli traficie ceny w granicach 100pln/0,7 oraz 120pln/1L - bra膰 nie ogl膮da膰 si臋 :)

OCENA: 75/100

This is one of my favorites to use in making Dark and Stormies. We always kept a bottle on the boat.

Wooden taste, very dry. May be good for those, who like whisky.

No real special taste. I was hoping for even a bit more smokey and oak. Instead there isa long peppery aftertaste. But nothing particular interesting

Un nez sur le caramel qui annonce une certaine douceur. 脡tonnement, on ne retrouve pas cette douceuren bouche. ce rhum est assez complet et savoureux. Assez sec. A d茅couvrir!

I'm guessing the only reason i've not bought this before is all the "tastes like Bourbon" comments on this rum. not being a Bourbon fan i was skeptical about my purchase.. well i was very pleasantly surprised. Lovely aroma of vanilla , oak , spices and either honey or fruit. Only slightly astringent and that disappeared in moments. Nice to sip , thankfully not much of the Bourbon taste present to spoil my enjoyment !
Mixes very well with a Fever Tree cola also.. Comes with a nice cork and not a cheap screw cap..
Another high quality Barbados rum , only just behind the XO in my opinion... don.t let the "Bourbon" comments put you off !!

Very good tasting. Smooth with a hint of bourbon. Purchased from Wine Country at $19.50. Very good buy.

This rum is close to whiskey. Not the complexity of other rums. Basic taste, not sweet, strong afterburn. Better on ice.

this rum is decent, I preferred it in a high end rum n cokeneat, not so much.

Even though I love the Bajan rum (love the Four Square Brand) this bottle isn't quite there for drinking as a sipper but is very nice as a mixer. Nothing great but definitely a good go to for Tiki drinks or something similar.
