Perfect balance sweet and spicy. More on the spicy side

A special rum at a very good price. Typical mount gay flavours but more pronounced

Not much to say, than it is a worthy rum with good analogies, to buy. The least you can rate it is 7 but really worth your time and money.

Second tasting, slightly disappointing. Initial taste is very smooth but on the weak side. If you swallow you get a kick with a slight alcohol burn. Aftertaste is the best thing about this one for me, very smooth and very long lasting.

I know hardly anything about rum I'm just giving it a rating so it shows up in my 'cabinet'. That said, it was very easy to drink. Seemed somehow less flavourful than the Diplomatico RE I had, but also smoother. After drinking this the Diplomatico seemed like it had much more of a burn.

Единственият ром от Маунт Гей който ми допадна.
Заслужава си парите.

Treat yourself with a more complex and robust mount gay for those special occasions

I spent a few months working down in Barbados in 2019 and really liked the previous XO. However, I think Richard Seale once again outdid himself.

The triple cask really does provide a symphony of flavor, but not at all too sweet. If they announce they are discontinuing it, I would rent a storage unit and buy as much as I could. :-)

Solid if a bit less interesting than others at this price point. I had one of the older version as it seems to have rebranded in 2020/21. N: cinnamon clove caramel, nice, sweeter, more fruit after sitting. T/F: cinnamon and spice, lighter, longer and very sippable, sweet w/o added sugar. But unlike most on this site, I think I prefer the cheaper and much more aggressive / interesting black barrel.
