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.

This rum has it all, the good 'old' pirate smell and taste.

Not that great for sipping to me. Excellent for mixology.

not exactly my taste as it is a bit stronger than I would expect.

Forgot to take some rum on holiday with me so I picked this up in Duty Free and it was actually pretty reasonable, just smooth enough to drink on it own but actually this one I preferred with Diet Coke.

This was ok but a little bland. Perhaps would be better taken straight

Ikke slem, men heller ikke et glas jeg sad og hyggede med.
Næste gang kommer der cola eller ginger beer i glasset også 🤗

Not a big fan of this one. Quite strong, bit too harsh to my taste.

Of rums I've tried this is the least rum tasting one. It's not my favourite and is at back of drink selections. Not sure what is going on with this one!

A review mentioned bourbon and I completely agree that it reminds me a lot of bourbon. Wouldnt drink it straight up. Mixed 50/50 with cola and some lime or lemon is perfect with this rum.

Jeg har lige været på cruise og der var vi blandt andet på Barbados og der var jeg på besøg på Mount Gay destilleriet.
Der var der mulighed for at smage på flere af deres forskellige rom og denne rom er deres basis rom som nok er bedst til miksede drinks.
Der er noter af egetræ, vanilje, karamel.
Den kan godt virke lidt skarp i det, men hvis den bruges i miksede drinks er den rigtig fin.
