I really enjoy this sipper

This amazing piece of rum craftsmanship represents everything I expect from a snobby rich expensive premium rum. It has a nose of vanilla, caramel, oak and slight notes of smoke and fruit. The palate clearly balances between vanilla, smoke and wood while the finish moves into the fruity direction. 9/10, would bang.

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.

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.

Super-fruity nose, oranges, Christmas spices. Taste is spicy, medium sweetness, a bit of a pleasant fruity bitterness. Has quite a bit more bite than you'd expect. Very nice.

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.

Compared to the version XO , coffee has disappeared and is replaced by a more complex rum, more robust . Adolescence gives way to maturity and if alcohol is present , there is nothing private in this rum of a certain aromatic richness.

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

out of 10
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!!
