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

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.
