Mount Gay Distilleries boast of being the oldest one in the world. This is not only a marketing move but every sip of this rum confirms that generations of roneros in Barbados have gathered enough experience how to make a great rum. An excellent choice for brandy and cognac lovers, the taste is very smooth, wood plays the major role. 85%

it s a honest non sweetened rum, good neat or in a rum old fashioned !
let sit 10 minutes in the glass to lower the burn at nose, dry, complex nose (a lot of fruits, oak, brown sugar),
in the mouth is dry, warm but 43% ABV is ok, not too much,
it s a rum for whisky drinkers (me too), better than many 10-12 years old single malts i ve tried !

En nariz se nota la madera en boca no quema y se nota más los taninos del tiempo en barrica y no empalaga de azúcares pero está ese tono dulce del ron que ha pasado reposando en la barrica al darle un 7 es poco y debía estar bastante más cerca del 8 es un ron de los que me atraen pero el balance de precio, casi 40€, me hace preferir otros .....no es mal ron pero me parece caro, como siempre nunca lo mezclaría.

Good rum to elevate your cocktails, high alcoholic after taste, good balance and representation of an aged rum.

Vor längerer Zeit bei meinem Vater getrunken, der hatte die Flasche aus dem Urlaub vor Ort mitgebracht, leider damals nur mit Cola getrunken, war aber lecker.

Note: I'm a sipper. My opinion is based on sipping characteristics.

This was the first rum I bought when I came out as rum aficionado and bloodthirsty pirate. And thank God I got it, instead of the Pyrat, as that really made a difference to my experience thereafter. At the time, I somehow managed to obtain it for the equivalent of 19€, which was probably a result of some miscalculation or something. Or it might have been an old stock or whatever but an year later when I decided to get another bottle, it was already going for 40+€ which with all the superlatives I can say, to me personally is not justified. Hence I'm gonna rate it at 7, instead of 8, which it otherwise deserves.

DO no like XO label on rum, but this one is worth the name. Nice woody, molasse taste, not too sweet and complex aftertaste. Good for sipping, almost shame to use in drinks.
