Mount Gay Andean Oak Cask

Aroma: Opálené dřevo, pražené ořechy, zatuchlá vanilka, muškátový oříšek, kokosky. Moc pěkná vůně.
Chuť: Štiplavá a dřevitá - výrazné taniny (dost připomíná whisky)
Dozvuk: Opálené dřevo, opět muškát, sušené ovoce (švestky, meruňky), doznívající jemná kořenitost. Delší.
Sladkost: 0/3

O dost lepší než předchozí Port Cask. Experiment s vypálenými sudy z andského dubu udělal divy - jedná se o velmi osobitý a mnohovrstevnatý rum. 8+/10

Unique and a good experiment. Not as good as other premium mount gay rums

Great present, my son went into my Rum Ratings account and found two great rums I’ve never tried before. One for my birthday one for Father’s Day, just 2 days apart. Been a fan of Mount Gay rums for 30-40 years, so nice to try something new and cask strength or close at 48%. Sampling this one neat as suggested. On the nose the distinct notes of the Andean Oak cask, I presume as unlike any other rum I’ve sampled. First taste reminds me of some hi ester Jamaican rums, but much smoother finish. This is a nice sipper and could take a while to get used to, but I’m a fan for the nice departure of Mount Gay’s safe zone.

Rum tasting with my good friend continues onwards at a truck stop in Flagstaff Arizona while outside temperature is around 38-40F and plenty of sleet and snow is accumulating on the windscreen. Mount Gay Andean Oak has a very nice bottle and label design. Bright golden color. Very dry and surprisingly Rhum Agricole influenced Barbudan. Dry and long lasting ending.
