Mount Gay 1703 Old Cask

Ce rhum viril affiche 43°, pourtant il n’agresse pas vos sens.
Le nez est délicat et subtil. En bouche, on a tout de suite une sensation agréable, avec une belle rondeur. Des notes boisées, épicées, des fruits secs, un quelque chose de réglisse... et tout ça sans excès de sucre, sans caramel prédominant.
Il est complexe, délicat, équilibré. Et au final un peu de gras lui apporte une très belle persistance.
Et comme je ne lui trouve pas de concurrents pour moins de 80€, je lui accorde la note maximum !

Nice, unique taste to it. Can identify banana, vanilla and cocos.
Pleasant alcohol burn to it.
After a while this rum became even nicer, changed my score from an 8 to a 9.

Jeg har lige været på cruise og der var vi blandt andet på Barbados og der var jeg på besøg på Mount Gay destilleriet.
Der var der mulighed for at smage på flere af deres forskellige rom og denne rom er deres absolut bedste rom som jeg også købte en med hjem af for 105 $
Der er smags noter af blomme, karamel og noter af eg. den er meget bedre en deres eller også gode rom XO.

A gift from a very good friend, and is now on my must have list. I felt it had a small bite. Liked it better on the rocks than straight. Nice aroma

The aroma in the bottle is nice...very nice. I can't really describe it but it is a positive sign. Upon sipping I detect a spicy oak (but very little of the bitterness that sometimes come with oak aging) along with a slight hint of sugar cane sweetness which becomes more apparent in the finish. Not a harsh burn but a pleasant enveloping warmth that flows down the throat before fading. Definitely a sipping rum.

Have bought bottles of this in each of the last two years I've been to Barbados and it's one of the smoothest rums I've ever had

Ik vind dit een erg lekkere rum en ik kan hem iedereen aanbevelen.

I honestly sat contemplating for a while wether this would be my only other 10 so far and its definately the next best thing ive drank after the Appleton 50! Beautifully smooth and complex with a bouquet of oak & rich caramel. Leaves a nice long finish of stewed fruits with a touch of spice. An absolute beaut!!

One of the best rums I've ever tasted. Not yet found a better one.

Great floral nose and rich colour.

Starts with a delicate caramel, leather and oak and warms up for a perfectly satisfying mouth feel.

Nice bottle too.
