Mount Gay Black Barrel Double Cask 7-Year

Really tasty, no after effects. Found it in the Caribbean.

Mount Gay Black Double Cask is a traditional rum from the island of Barbados.
It’s a mix of rums from pot stills and old rums distilled in a column still.
The whole is refined in American oak barrels which previously contained bourbon and which were deeply burned in order to allow the wood to reveal its aromas.
The whole process delivers a rum that is both balanced and highly flavored. In the mouth we can smell the vanilla caramel toffee and the woody aromas. It is a very elegant rum!!!
Better than the first Black Barrel.

Nos: słodki, toffi, kokos, piernik, cynamon, trzcina, lekka owocowość egzotyczna w tle

wygląd: 0,75/1
zapach: 1,5/2
smak początkowy: 0,5/1
smak: 3/4
finish: 1,5/2

Suma: 7,25/10 ≈ 7/10

Stosunek ceny (ok. 100 zł) do jakości - 10/10. Idealny na prezent dla osób, które lubią whisky, a nigdy nie próbowały dobrego, starzonego rumu.

This is a golden colored rum with a moderately intense nose, for me largely the vanilla/cask aromas present. The initial taste is bold with a nice bite. The complexity seemed to fade for a drier finish than some rums in my opinion. Believe this will make some excellent cocktails and can be sipped.

The old blend was the best rum and coke ever but the new blend is such a delight without mixing...

Nose
Oak, oranges and papaya

Tasting
Oak , papaya, soft fruits

I enjoy this room. It pales in comparison to its triple cask brother, but it is still good. It’s a bit punchy with the booze, but I do like that on occasion.

Bardzo dobry w stosunku do ceny.. w sumie to dobra whiskey bardziej ... Jeden z bardziej whiskowych rumów

Like it, taste great and no additives combined with a good price. I have this in my collection as a compliment to the XO, for when I want something slightly lighter

Mout Gay Black Barrel double cask 7-yea,r new label, new bottle and good Barbados rum. Banana and vanilla smel, taste of oaky bourbon and toffee finish. Have to say it is a decent aged Barbados style, could do as a sipper on ice but I would recomend it as a powerfull mixer. 43% alc better go easy on that one. Score 7 for nice price and pure taste with no adds

Neutral on nose. A bit aggressive 43° on palate. Getting smother when had a breath. Pretty long pleasant aftertaste, not intensive but Ok. Not spicy (or just a bit salty), mostly dry.
I have not tasted his predecessor, unable to compare.

Cheers! Happy Holidays!
