Mount Gay Black Barrel

If you like spicy natural rum, this one is for you.
It tastes more spicy than the xo, but it has similar aromas and more banana in the smell.
It's better than the Eclipse, eclipse is too young and too harsh.

Smell: bright wood, ripe banana, vanilla, some orange zests, citrus
Taste: oak, vanilla, orange zests, it's very spicy in the middle. It's between the Eclipse and the XO.

Sweetness: 2/5
Fruit: 2/5
Spice: 4/5
Mildness: 3/5

Seriously, don't take the wealthy's advice about a lot of things but least of all rum. This has a clear market audience who rates their rums off the bottle and not what's inside. This is almost on par with Bacardi in terms of insulting flavor.

Good sipping rum, pretty dry with a little bit of a burn.

Excellent blend (of both matured double pot distillates and aged column distillates)) with good proof. It have nice peppery taste and deep oak finish - everything I need!

Strange, but enjoyable balance between sweetness and dryness. Pretty smooth. Short aftertaste.
Spend extra 5 bucks on XO to get 4 more points.

Really enjoyed this. I prefer this rum with 2 or 3 small ice cubes and a couple luxordo cherries. I also like to “air it out” a bit before sipping. Very gentle alcohol burn, vanilla and spice on the nose. Oak and pepper. Great option.

I'm not keen on oaky flavours, I won't drink wine like that, but this is just delicious.

A lot of flavors.... very oaky!!
Alcohol taste is present, but, if you wait a 5 or 10 minutes, it´s get better.

A cheap alternative to Mount Gay XO.
I recommend.

I like the rum. Ig has a strong taste but nice to drink! A very nice price for this quality!

yeah thats was good, oak, tabaco, karmel, mango, and a bit of sherry finish, thats good for nonsweeters player, siping
