J'apprécie les Rhum de la Barbade. Aussi je voulais goûter les Mount Gay et j'ai commencé par le Black Barrel. Ce n'est pas un mauvais rhum. On retrouve les caractéristiques des rhums que j'aime (plutôt sec et frais, fruits exotiques avec une pointe d'épices), mais pour moi il manque de complexité et de longueur en bouche.
Rapport qualité/prix décevant.
A essayer peut-être en cocktail.

Une attaque très (trop) forte mais avec des notes subtil de mélasse dans un second temps. Pas autant aromatique qu'un XO mais il se laisse boire !

Decent for sipping but better with ice. Would be smoother if allowed to be a couple more years in the casket. Medium brown with hints of spices.

Very adequate as a sipper. Certainly spices and oak notes to be enjoyed albeit nothing overwhelming. A lighter version of the XO but very enjoyable nonetheless. Incredible value for less than $30 USD

A good Rum better than most not as harsh as I was prepared for.

J aime beaucoup ce rhum bien boisé, et bien épicé. Veilli 2 fois dans des barils de bourbon. Un petit goût de vanille. Je le conseille vraiment.

Good rum, smooth neat but also excellent with Coke.

A nice rum with a great aroma of oak and vanilla along with aged leather and subtle tobacco notes. Great as a sipper or a mixer if you want a little oak barrel dimension to your cocktail.

Slap all the silly labelling you want on it, it didn't sit in the cask long enough.

Alkohol: 40 %
Původ: Barbados
Aroma: Trocha sladkého parfému, sušené banány, citrusy, hřebíček, tropické ovoce. (84 b)
Chuť: Suchý, štiplavý, dřevitý a karamelový. Chuť je fádní, ale zase proti Eclipse je OK. (81 b)
Body: 82/100
Shrnutí: Ochutnáno při posezení s kamarádem v českolipském Baru/Kavárně Kocour. Od této značky jsem měl možnost ochutnat už tři rumy (Black Barrel, Eclipse a Extra Old) a ani jeden mě nijak nezaujal, a když, tak jen vůní, v chuti to bylo zklamání vždy.

Bottle is modern style, clean. Color nice dark golden. Fruits and wood on the nose. Smoky oak, nuts and fruits on palate, notes of vanilla and toffee too. Quite dry for my usual taste of sweeter rums, but I still like it.
