Managed to pick this up on sale and I wasn't really sure to treat this as a rum to sip neat or in cocktails. Although delicious it is neat I much prefer it in a rum old fashion
Don't really know what to say about this sipper. It has a pounch in its alcohol taste but its not the most taste worthy rum. Not to bad but I would go for something more tasty ifs could.
Ah, the aroma is great but there's too much alcohol burn. It's almost great. Just needs a tiny bit of refinement. Worth a buy for the price.
Got this for christmas not a bottle i would pick up for myself but was nicely suprised a decent sipper sweet nose sligjtly oaky woody from the barrel aging sweet in the finish but not overly so one for sipping not mixing.
Rather strong rum, taste of oak & bourbon, a bit vanille, strong and a bit smoked finish.
Average.
It's odd this one is so heavy on the 6-8 rating split.
Definite bourbon notes here, but as a warming, smoky oaked rum with a hint of maple, this is eminently enjoyable and worth a try. Only a slight burn at the end to remind you you're drinking rum.
6/10 Tasty, but not quite great. good to try once :-)
Good for mixing, I can make some fire mojitos with this, not meant for sipping. Iβve tasted neat and its just not hitting the mark for me, you can taste a lot of the ethanol flavor. Nice lookig bottle tho.
Velmi bourbonovy rum na moj vkus, malo sladky, resp vobec. Vona bourbon/whisky a citim tam vypalene sudy, chut - keby som robil ochutnavku na slepo tak tipujem whisky alebo bourbon...
Bodovo ak hodnotim ako rum tak slaba 6tka.
Ale kto ma rad malo sladky rum, chut whisky tak tento typ rumu oceni...
Celkovo je to dobre pitie - kupil by som ho este raz, ale ako rum ma sklamal :/
A light woody rum, with a punch. Its spicy. Black barrel is interesting and not what I am used to from Mount Gay. I am not blown away by this. I can appreciate what they are going for, however. Its punchy, as a result the finish is not delicate. Its maybe harsher than it should be, but maybe thats the body they are going for. Mount gay has been experimenting, this and their 1703 master select show this. But like that, this isn't for me. Along with the profile of this rum and the roughness in its body. I have to give it an average rating.
A nice balanced Bajan nose with a little extra spicy kick to it.
"Sipped the Black Barrel certainly gives some of the oaky notes of a bourbon but also makes the mouth water."

I'm a fan of Mount Gay and while I prefer their XO, the black barrel is a fantastic value and thus why I give it an 7. It's a tad harsh in both the finish and also in the flavor profile. Not bad at all, just not as refined as my preferred rums. While it really does make a fantastic rum and coke, I can drink this neat or on the rocks and both are good experiences. Neat is a bit on the spicy and dry side (which I like) but on the rocks also brings out a nice more mellow flavor that is still slightly sweet and very pleasant. Every way to drink this rum is a good rum and for the price you feel liberated to try anything without any guilt. Highly recommend this one.
