Mount Gay Black Barrel

No nic moc. Jeste ze to nebyla moje lahev :)
Za ty penize lze poridit daleko lepsi rum...
Rum je dost ostrý a alkoholový.

Nice nose, but taste is too muddled with no discernible notes.

Found it too harsh, much prefer eclipse for the price

Nothing special, very dry and leathery. But I guess for what it costs, it is still pretty smooth. I guess I wouldn't kick it out of bed

Didn't really taste like a good rum at all. Quite strong, slightly whisky-esque flavour. Couldn't enjoy it straight, and even when mixed the poor flavour still overpowers.

Dry, spicy, woodI. I had it neat, I'm guessing it would be more enjoyable on the rocks. I don't recommend it unless selection is poor.

I bought this rum on the recommendation of a liquor store employee and I was actually quite disappointment.

The taste is quite sharp, a bit woody, and not smooth enough to thoroughly enjoy straight. I don't see enough value to excuse paying a third more for this over your traditional mixing rums.

I don't like my rum all bourboned up like this.

It was a lovely Mt. Gay rum that they ruined by finishing in bourbon casks.

With that said, I've enjoyed it in place of my usual Barbados rums.

Decent Corn n' oil.

I hesitated before buying a bottle of Mount Gay Black Barrel as the Mount Gay XO is only $6 CAD more and it is my favorite rum. No regrets, the Black Barrel while not as good as the XO is also a fantastic rum. I really enjoy the overall taste but would prefer it less spicy. Nevertheless a truly fantastic rum.

Bought a bottle of this. Took it round to friends. Didn't get to sampling much of it, but enough to be satisfied I tried it, but happy not to buy it again.

Wasn't much of an upgrade on the Eclipse, still young and undeveloped, although easy to drink. The char adding something but not enough to elevate it's overall character. Too muted in flavour for me, and for the money, I'd say RL Seale or El Dorado 12 have more depth and interest.
