Doftar vanilj, ek och mild sprit. Inte alls söt men inte heller helt torr. Lite lätt funky fruktsmak av banan och ananas.

Good but not great. Had a good vanilla smell but the taste was too sharp.

Wow, this is one of the best. A lot of flavour and nicely smooth. Not to sweet.
Go for it!

A great rum with balanced notes of cigar and vanilla. Oak is present but well balanced. Long pleasant aftertaste that is just addictive!
Drink pure or as suggested on Mount Gay’s website with an coconut water ice cube. Perfect!

Good balanced rum. It will go well with a quality Cuban cigar.

lovely natural sugar, no cloying sweetness. lots of beautiful oaky spice too. this is a perfect primer rum for those working their way over from bourbon. i keep this one in regular rotation in my desk top ship decanter. mount gay has always been a favorite and this expression is absolutely lovely.

This rum have been described by many as the perfect start for a newbies journey into rum. I have never tried it before, but wanted to see if this statement rings true.
Nose: Orange, prunes, oak, chocolate and vanilla
Taste: Sugar cane, honey, oak, molasses and a small hint of ripe banana hiding in the back
Overall: I must admit that the statement rings true, that this is a great rum for people, who want to begin their rum journey. Especially people who come from other spirits will find pleasure in this one as it is not overly sweet. However if you are completely new to spirits it might be a little harsh and bottles like Plantation XO and Zacapa 23 might be more up your alley, but none the less a great starter rum.
