Mount Gay Black Barrel Edition 1703, Een zachte en volle rum met rijping op bourbon vaten. Hierdoor een rijke volle iets zoetige dronk, mount Gay Rum is hét alleroudste rum merk ter wereld, de 1e handeling namens het bedrijf brengt ons 3 eeuwen terug naar het jaartal 1703. Tegenwoordig is het een dochteronderneming van Rémy Cointreau en verkoopt men de rum in meer dan 60 landen!

Volle smaken van rietsuiker en een 3 keer gedistilleerde rum maakt een maximale en volle smaak.

Tasted. Nice sweet but stingy taste. Mollase with chocolate taste, with pinch of cinnamon, orange and vanilla. Full rich body. Smell is not very intense. Good for sipper for people who can't decide between stronger and sweeter taste.

This rum goes down very smoothly despite the slightly higher ABV of 43%. It has very nice aftertaste of fruit and wood. If I was going to knock anything at al is I really couldn't detect much of the fruit flavors in the nose but I'm just getting over a cold so that could be the reason for it. While I want rate this quite as high as some of the other rums for Barbados like Four Square it's still a great bargain for the price and will definitely go in my rotation for nightly drams.

Ce rhum est d une grande finesse il est moins puissant qu un original dark plantation ou qu un plantation st lucie 2004 (qui est plus sur des notes bitumees).bien equilibre il est un peu moins complexe qu un mezan xo qui est du meme profil.c est un tres bon rhum a essayer.mais le mezan est un peu meilleur et moins cher.note 8.0.

Simply a great rum from the oldest rum distillery in the world.

Had it neat earlier today and what a fine rum! Balanced and full of typical rum flavors. Sweet but less than average rums. The burn is pleasant and smooth, not harsh. Although aged in bourbon barrels, no bourbon taste is detected. The more expensive Zafra 21 is aged in bourbon barrels and you unfortunately do taste the bourbon on the palette (although the finish on the Zafra 21 is more flavorful and long). Every rum lover should buy Mount Gay XO for sipping.

Not too sweet or syrupy. Great with a cigar. Very smooth

Wow, what an excellent taste and mixture of nuts, oak and honey. Smooth aftertaste. This one is my standard in the cabinet and can compete easily with the more expensive rums.

I see a lot of 9s and 10s over here. That is just way to much. It's a decent rum but it's not a winner.

I truly enjoy this rum. And for the price it might be the best out there ($50.00 Canadian). If you have not tried it and you are reading this review, put your phone down and head to your local liquor store or bottle shop and pick up what may be the best drink you have had in quite some time.
