I tried this popular rum. All in all I must say it is sweet but not too much. No great fantasy for me but a good time. A very balanced rum that you easily sip. I just expected a special twist !

Yes, it's classic. But is almost perfect! Beautiful colour, nice flavour, not to much, not less. With 43% is quite strong, but the alcohol is under control, nothing to shock your nose.
But the flavour is rich! Classically mix af vanilla, caramel and chocolate, and a little bit spice at the end. Maybe because of alcohol, but I think is something real there.
One of the best! For sure is the oldest :)

I had this in fall of 2019 and for the price (Euro 35 on sale) it is an outstanding mixer. The first taste is VERY harsh, like Hennessy VS Cognac (good for cooking). With ice cubes it is MUCH better and more like a whiskey. For just sipping, like a good cognac, it was disappointing. However, for mixing the strong flavours really came through in a positive way. A very good value. Overall, a 9 -.

I’ve
Just finished the bottle and I’m still not sure what to think about this rum. I like it, but..a hot finish kind of bites, admittedly it cools down to a enjoyable green apple/ pear finish that leaves you wanting another sweet slap to your taste buds. I’ve got another bottle, perhaps I’ll bump it up, but for now my rating is a 8. Clean and crisp Overall an enjoyable experience. Solid 8. Short in the finish and it’s lack of depth prevents it from going any higher.

It took me a while to get around to this review. I was busy enjoying this. The first sip is a surprising burn, even when you're on your fourth, first sip. On the second sip, you realise this rum is tantalising. It's rich, full, varied and subtle.

A nice shot sipped, is an experience that makes you smile. every sip, pleasantly surprises you. Caramel, oak, spice, toffee, vanilla, toast, banana... Everything complements each other and i'm excited about this rum, and where Mount Gay is going.

Mount Gay did this one right. Oak, vanilla, toffee, leather, fruits and floral....very well balanced. But, there's a kick on the finish! It's a smooth rum but there's a lingering bite that this sipper provides.

The nose is very pronounced spicy oak notes. You can almost taste the Bourbon that was in these casks prior. Vanilla, a nice creamy nuttiness and a slight hint of banana, toffee and caramel. Despite the ABV there is very little “menace” as I like to call it. It’s still a very nice well balanced, skillfully blended spirit.

Sipped even at 63% it is a surprisingly mellow and pleasant experience. I would recommend a little water but not much – just to bring out all the flavour. Not too much or you might as well stuck with the regular XO.
