Mount Gay Black Barrel Edition 1703, Een zachte en volle rum met rijping op bourbon vaten. Hierdoor een rijke volle iets zoetige dronk, mount Gay Rum is hét alleroudste rum merk ter wereld, de 1e handeling namens het bedrijf brengt ons 3 eeuwen terug naar het jaartal 1703. Tegenwoordig is het een dochteronderneming van Rémy Cointreau en verkoopt men de rum in meer dan 60 landen!

Volle smaken van rietsuiker en een 3 keer gedistilleerde rum maakt een maximale en volle smaak.

Tres long et rond en bouche. Meilleur que le 1703. Assez fruité mais reste très equilibré.
Son caractère riche de chêne est équilibré à la perfection avec des notes de banane mûre et de pain grillé, suivis par la vanille, de la pâtisserie et épices chaudes.

Had it in a bar in Southampton. Nice rum, very fruity in the nose, though not overly complex. Quite a dry finish.

Nice bottle including official markings on bottle neck label. Can't totally say what I think yet. Stay tuned...

It took me a few years to truly appreciate this rum. It really does measure up incredibly well, and it’s a great rum to give to whisky drinkers who can really appreciate it. I used to drink it with an ice cube but now tend to go for just a drop of water.

Toujours agréable grace ses notes fruités et sa persistance en bouche !

Finished out the evening in Toronto with this gem. Good flavor but nothing that would led me to seek it out again.

This is a nice rum, but I'm at a loss to describe the taste in specifics. I can compare it to RL Seale's, but perhaps a little lighter tasting and with a slightly less smooth finish. I can't imagine too many people being disappointed with it. However, it's still not one I'd purchase again, unless there were no other/better choices.

I bought this because I enjoy Mount Gay black barrel and i thought this would be good too. It's a good sipper and a good mixer is well.

Wouldn't mix this. It reminds me of a scotch. I wouldn't even put ice in this.

This is just a touch smoother than the Mount Gay Black Barrel. It's also heavier ( fuller ) taste wise. I gave the Black Barrel a 7. This one gets an 8. I like it with pineapple juice or orange juice.
