Mount Gay 1703 Port Cask Expression

This rum was recommended by friend who has long history with rums. I'm not exact lover of Mount Gay rum, that's not because they are bad. But simply not exactly what I'm prefer. But come on! This one is really top of what they do and even further. Considering way of producing where you get rum with no fakes ( suggering etc). I must increase mine own 9.3 to 10. One of the real best.

Just in nutshell: great soft smell, nuts and taste of port, kind of fruity with a bit sweetness. Definitely not much but still pleasant to have it there. Absolutely no bite, just warm and long tale. That's all I imagine great rum can offer to you.

I simply must recommend this to anybody who is serious about exploring rum world. Try it!
And that bottle goes into my cabinet, that's already done :)

Sampled Mount Gay Port Cask Expression rum, bottled at 55% abv and was somewhat surprised at the seemingly mild aroma, perhaps a result of sampling this right after the Black Tot 50th Anniversary rum. Definitely detected the familiar “Mount Gay” flavours, which I am familiar with and really enjoy as the flavours lingered in my mouth. This is definitely a quality rum that I really enjoy. Not my favourite rum but definitely one of my favourites.

Aroma is smooth and warm already with porto tones. Taste is strong (but you would not guees 55%) and full of wood, fruits and porto. Long aftertaste with many different flavours. Very good, but overpriced to get 10 points...

Massive thanks to Rhum Attitude for providing a proper rum selection during global lockdown. Rum tasting continues onwards with Mount Gay Port Cask. Very nice bottle and label design. Bright golden color. Strong Port influence mixed beautifully with traditional Mount Gay oakiness. Very mellow ending. One of the best Mount Gay rums I have ever tried out.

This is a truly outstanding expression. Beautifully crafted. It opens delicately then coats the pallet with warm vanilla, tons of butter, caramel and a smooth port wine finish. This finish is long and flavorful. It fills the mouth and nose. Fantastic. Very well balanced. Very complex. Silky smooth. Really nice rum. Sipper supreme. Easily the best Mount Gay I have ever tried. Worth every penny.

Bottle No. 4456 /6570. - 55%

Afsindig god smag og eftersmag. Man fornemmer tydeligt både whisky og port finishen. Den ligger nok nærmere 10 end 9.

I cracked this open last night and am now deciding whether or not I should buy a second to have once these are all gone.

I've only tried one other offering from Mount Gay, the Black Barrel, which I enjoyed. I decided to bite the bullet and buy this. So glad I did.

Nose: The port comes through nicely, with raisins, pineapple, brown sugar, and a smell that reminds me of fresh grass.
Palate: Sweet, juicy, jammy, grapes, cherries, fruit preserves, dark chocolate, and a bit of wood.
Finish: A dry, long finish with wood, tobacco, and some nice heat.
