I drank it in a whisky glass so not great. The smell is not great and it smell like a cheap mixing rum. Once you drink it it reacts like a bourbon. long taste but not complex at All. Just the taste of caramel lasting. The Finish is the part I don't like. Very plain. Only the caramel/ honey traste but no complexity

This is not as good as their XO, but not as expensive either. Definitely has a stronger taste... I enjoy it

Very tasty, just some ice will suffice. I like that it's not that sweet and very delicate in the aftertaste.

Definitely taste the barley influence from American whiskey barrels on this. Good but not a must have for me.

If you like whisky and/or bourbon you will most likely like this style of rum. Pretty good as a sipper imo.

To me this Mount Gay tastes like a hybrid between rum and bourbon, and not outstanding in either category. However for something sippible, mixable and a bit different it's an interesting choice (especially if you love bourbon). I wouldn't turn it down, but I won't be buying it again...at $50 I've found several that I much prefer.

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

Tasted at Laka Lono on 9/14/21. Rich gold in color. Marshmellows. Caramel. Toffee. Not much bourbon to the aroma at all. Flavor has a mixed woody and bourbon backbone. Bit of a hacksaw palate. Finishes with a cloying woodiness.
