Mount Gay Black Barrel Double Cask 7-Year

The old blend was the best rum and coke ever but the new blend is such a delight without mixing...

Nose
Oak, oranges and papaya

Tasting
Oak , papaya, soft fruits

Rum made right. Good for day to day sips neat or a couple drops of water.

RO: aveam asteptari mari de la acest rom si nu a dezamagit deloc. Mi a placut chiar si Eclipse care este un rom dur dar cinstit. aici avem alta poveste.. este o diferenta de calitate enorma.

foarte echilibrat, nivelul alcoolului e cel optim din punctul meu de vedere, adica 43% care nu se simte dur , e rotund si se impleteste destul de bine cu aromele care mi ar fi placut sa fie ceva mai pronuntate.

un gust lemnos si condimentat, vanilie, piele, usor pamantiu, fructe uscate... un echilibru intre dulceag si sec fara zahar adaugat sau arome false

super rom

EN: I had high expectations from this rum and it did not disappoint at all. I even liked Eclipse which is a tough but honest rom. here we have another story.. there is a huge difference in quality.

very balanced, the alcohol level is the best from my point of view, 43% which does not feel harsh, it is round and intertwines quite well with the flavors which I would have liked to have been a bit more pronounced.

a woody and spicy taste, vanilla, leather, slightly earthy, dried fruits... a balance between sweet and dry without added sugar or false flavors

super rum

New to rum, but the smell of this is amazing. At first I thought it was banana. As I’m going through the bottle, I am tasting the charred barrel, caramel, even cherry, and other flavors. Taste is good, but the smell is divine. What could be better than this?

Really tasty, no after effects. Found it in the Caribbean.

Tried neat just after opening. Big mistake. Harsh. 43% abv and sure as hell tasted like it. Thought bottle was mislabeled and was drinking whiskey. Okay I am exaggerating but given that I have had MG eclipse and XO triple cask not impressed at all with either I was ready to just admit that MG rums are just not for me. I gave this a good 15 minutes added little bit of ice and it really transformed into a really nice sipper. The whiskey taste is still there but so are other nice subtle flavors and subtle sweetness and the harshness was toned down. Really very nice Bajan rum.

This is a golden colored rum with a moderately intense nose, for me largely the vanilla/cask aromas present. The initial taste is bold with a nice bite. The complexity seemed to fade for a drier finish than some rums in my opinion. Believe this will make some excellent cocktails and can be sipped.

Opět převážně chlapský rum, který není doslazovaný. Ve vůni spíše sladší s tóny ovoce a květů. Vyvážený rum světlejší barvy, kde opět cítíte, že nepijete nic marketingového, ale pravou řemeslnou práci. V chuti ostřejší avšak velmi příjemný. Ideální společník k doutníku.

Mount Gay Black Double Cask is a traditional rum from the island of Barbados.
It’s a mix of rums from pot stills and old rums distilled in a column still.
The whole is refined in American oak barrels which previously contained bourbon and which were deeply burned in order to allow the wood to reveal its aromas.
The whole process delivers a rum that is both balanced and highly flavored. In the mouth we can smell the vanilla caramel toffee and the woody aromas. It is a very elegant rum!!!
Better than the first Black Barrel.

Bardzo dobry w stosunku do ceny.. w sumie to dobra whiskey bardziej ... Jeden z bardziej whiskowych rumów
