You know, what are you drinking. Nice, smooth, easy, soft, not much of sweet taste. Old classic for me. I can highly recommend!
Rum started in Barbados.......this rum proves it. Its perfectly balaneced and great neat or on a spherical ice cube.
I purchased a bottle of this while in Barbados. I admit, I was a bit lured in by the attractive presentation and near-perfect color, but felt slightly let down by the flavor. Don't get me wrong, the flavor was excellent but it was not "exceptional" as the look of it would have had me believe.
My weighted rating for this was an even 8, which coincides perfectly with rumratings.com's scoring system. My scoring system (with weights) is as follows:
-Packaging (10%): 8.5
-Color (20%): 9
-Nose (20%): 8
-Palette (25%): 8
-Smoothness (25%): 7
Smooth finish. Easy on the nose and palate. Cool bottle. A bit overpriced
Typical high end run nose. Buttery, smooth sweetness with caramel and toffee notes. Enjoyed it.
The successor to the 1703 old cask. Master select (2017 version) does a lot of things well, but is not spectacular or as broadly appealing as the old cask was.
The nose is really inviting with butterscotch, nailpolish, banana, cut grass, woody sawdust and tobacco. It promises great things, but the taste cant quite keep the same pace. In the mouth I pick a fairly oaky and dry profile with notes of very dark chocolate, robust pipe tobacco and oily leather. It coats the tounge with a longlasting, warming finish. It’s good but quite heavy on the oaky notes.
To be enjoyed in the sun under an umbrella with lots of sand about. pour over ice and enjoy the view.
Mangler lidt sødme. alkoholen brænder lidt for meget igennem.
If price is not a concern, then this is a rum to have. Delicious, not too heavy on the spices, aromatic, and with a great finish.
I recommend against mixing this rum, as it's best enjoyed straight or (if you must) on the rocks. Eclipse, Silver, and Eclipse Black are better choices for mixing from Mount Gay.
A nice spicy entry which is quite woody.
"The nose is full of chewy toffee, banana, caramel, brown sugar and that signature coconut."

A bit special, a bit pricey.

I have a definite soft spot for this one, a little sentimentality creeping in perhaps.
I first tasted it at the Mount Gay visitor's centre on Barbados about a year ago, on the first day of an awesome 2-week holiday. Whilst most of the other people on the same tour were tasting cocktails from the bar, I sat outside and rolled a shot of this around the glass for a few minutes then took a sip.
This is a rum which will impress you from the very first sniff, let alone sip. The nose has everything that you ever thought rum should smell like, before you were old enough to taste it properly.
It does have a little more alcohol heat than I feel it ought to, but that dies away quickly leaving a wonderful caramel and citrus cocktail on the tongue which lingers into a long finish. I just spotted another review mentioning butterscotch ... "Yes!" I agree. Oaky? ... not so much. Certainly not as much as any of the Appletons I have tried.
I feel I want to rate this rum higher than an 8, but for £120 per bottle that is hard to justify, especially when one considers just how good the XO and the Black Barrel are, for less than half the price.
