Surprisingly good rum with decent kick followed by pleasant after taste.

Its a solid sipping barbados rum exactly what you’d expect, leans too sweet for me on finish but lacks complexity you’ll get from a foursquare or mccoy. Still a must have for the collection though

Bottle is modern style, clean. Color nice dark golden. Fruits and wood on the nose. Smoky oak, nuts and fruits on palate, notes of vanilla and toffee too. Quite dry for my usual taste of sweeter rums, but I still like it.

This is excellent sipping rum. Always have some of it around the house. will share with my best friends. Low the old bourbon barrel aroma and the oaky notes. Think I'll go have some now!

A friend of mine recommended Mount Gay rum to me in general, i tend to prefer the rums of Barbados so i thought i was on to a winner having enjoyed the likes of Doorley's and Cockspur rums i have tried recently.
Unfortunately this rum is not for me, it came across with an overbearing presence of the flavours i am not overly keen on, such as pepper Bourbon,Cinnamon ,it had a rough and overly charred taste with a strong post alcohol burn, tried it with some Ginger ale, this tamed it quiet a bit, but just made it a bit 'meh' overall, i can see this bottle lasting a long time as it will be towards the back of the queue.

A good rum, but it was just not interesting. Smooth simple taste.

Definitely my favourite run by far, of all the ones I've tried. Even a whiskey lover would find it hard not to like this one

Nicht so komplex und intensiv wie der XO, jedoch deutlich günstiger und empfehlenswert.

Anyone who reads my blog will know that I'm not the greatest mount gay fan , however this is an exemption delicious as a rum and coke and lovely delicate notes ... Not strong in flavour but everything you want from a mixer rum with caramel and spices... The best rum and coke money can buy
