Mount Gay continues to craft varieties that out shine many of the competition. This is a beautiful example

Caramel, pear, molasses, excellence. Great offering but a wee bit pricey. Smooth obviously and what rum should taste like. Hints of wood are kept in the background so this sweet rum with flavours of pear, apricot and caramel delivers. Bottle went a bit too quick actually...

Nose: Faint. Almost all oak with hints of cherry cough syrup
Palate: Again, fainter flavor than I expected but similar to the nose
Tail: Pretty long but with the cherry syrup getting stronger over time

It’s fine but definitely not a favorite. Mount gay rums have always been underwhelming for me so I’m not surprised.

You don't always want to spend a lot on a bottle of rum but then you don't want a spice rum either. The choice you make is a nice and solid Mount Gay

Long finish, but the flavor is masked by the heat.

Most retailers in my area, sell this for 200+ euros. Managed to find myself a brand new bottle, at 115. This is from the now retired Master Blender, Allen Smith. Blend is said to contain rums from 10-30 years old and is unfortunately discontinued. I'd rather keep it sealed, but i am a drinker before a collector, alas. The smell is alluring, making you feel slightly dizzy, from the pleasure its aromas invoke. Its taste is naturally sweet, its body full, is silky, smooth and very balanced; nothing offensive, not too strong. The lingering aftertaste is barrel wood with hints of smoke. This is exactly what i have been searching for, feels totally like "old world" rum, the kind of which you can't find anywhere else! I don't know if i will try its new iteration from Trudian Branker, which is even more expensive despite being a more recent release, but this one right here, is iconic! Will try to make it last for as long as possible. Greatest sipper, so far!

This is a rum drinkers treasure. A high end rum thats both smooth wand rich. A great aftertaste - I recommend sipping on rocks and savouring every ounce. On that note- time to pour another glass!

Söt, stark, rund, komplex och bra med fudge.
Helt OK. Lite osäker på om det var denna jag drack. Min hette XO Reserve Rum
