This was the first rum in English style that I tested and maybe my rate is unfair because of that. Today is the English style my bag, but at that time I was more into the Spanish style and I didn’t like Mount Gay at all.

Another level of Mount Gay, much better than XO. Excelent texture and finish, a lot of flavor in palatin. Good job Mount Gay.

This amazing piece of rum craftsmanship represents everything I expect from a snobby rich expensive premium rum. It has a nose of vanilla, caramel, oak and slight notes of smoke and fruit. The palate clearly balances between vanilla, smoke and wood while the finish moves into the fruity direction. 9/10, would bang.

I like the bottle but for the price, it could be better. The color is rich, slightly amber. Smells of fruit dominate my nose, this transitions into flavor. It slightly balances out with a oak and vanilla finish. Very smooth, not much burn. The aftertaste lingers for a while. It's definitely a sipping rum. I think it's definitely overpriced, but it's still very good stuff.

Well, unlike most of the Rums, this one actually was much better than it smelled.
It has a nose that reminded me of a Single malt I have. The Glenfarclas 21y. A sort of earthy smell, almost as if it had turned bad. Let it breathe a while and the sweet is going to take over the first impression. Still on the nose a fairly low amount of alcohol...
In the mouth, not much to say, it s not far away from certain single malts, I think of Auchetochan Three woods, for example.
The aftertaste is long, bitter behind the tongue. I would say it s quite balanced, not too sweet, just tasty, subtle, rich, delicate. I see why people would give it a 9. But it's not truly a fantastic choice for me, so I give it an 8.

Ani ryba, ani rak, ono i to datum není tak úplně pravda a takový i ten rum.
"Především je nutno říct, že tato plantáž se původně jmenovala Mount Gilboa a v roce 1801 byla přejmenována na Mount Gay po jednom z nových majitelů, kterým byl John Gay Alleyne. Není tedy možné mít značku ještě před tím, než to jméno vůbec existovalo." Citace z magazínu Warehouse #1 News číslo 9.

Jeg har lige været på cruise og der var vi blandt andet på Barbados og der var jeg på besøg på Mount Gay destilleriet.
Der var der mulighed for at smage på flere af deres forskellige rom og denne rom er deres absolut bedste rom som jeg også købte en med hjem af for 105 $
Der er smags noter af blomme, karamel og noter af eg. den er meget bedre en deres eller også gode rom XO.

Have bought bottles of this in each of the last two years I've been to Barbados and it's one of the smoothest rums I've ever had

Nice rhum sur glace, il sent bon, mais pour le prix il y n'a des meilleurs.

Esperaba más de este ron premium, falto de sabores, solo se distingue olor y sabor a madera
