"My new Mount Gay reference! The Madeira barrel and the higher alcohol content give the rum a nice boost of complexity. Reminds of a very good Foursquare through the coconut and toasty cacao associations. Great rum!"

"A very nice release and an old one as well. I think age has done this rum well. The wood is there without being too dominant and the fruitiness is also pretty nice next to the light vanilla flavour. Warm and almost oily on the palate."

"The port finish and higher ABV make this bottling the 2nd best of the standard range. Only the Madeira Cask tops here."

"Überraschend harmonisch! Alkohol könnte minimal besser eingebunden sein aber ich hätte echt nicht gedacht das das Islay finish hier gut rein passt, da ich absolut kein Torf Fan bin. Bin positiv überrascht! Der typische Barbados Charakter kommt trotzdem intensiven Finish trotzdem noch schön zur Geltung. Da ich aber kein Islay Fan bin muss ich den dennoch nicht nochmal haben und kann ihn nun endlich von meiner Liste streichen!😅 180€+ ist die Flasche darüber hinaus mMn nicht wert..."

"Ah damn, if only there were not this alcoholic note in particular and we would have here a fantastic forest in the glass. On the palate I got some unripe fruit that is slightly tart, I think currant. The finish is joined by bitter orange and a tiny bit of coconut. Tip: Let breathe very long so that the alcohol evaporates somewhat. Otherwise, a tasty treat."

"This was the first English styled rum that I tasted and I didn’t appreciate it at all. A retest would certainly upgrade this rating a lot. Today I appreciate the Bajan style very much."

Top review from Daniel
"Nase: Dezente, aber angenehme Nase. Es überwiegen die Gewürze. Anis, Vanille Lakritz vielleicht sogar Kräuter. Unidentifizierbare Früchte mischen sich dazu. Gaumen: Leicht pfeffriger Auftakt, der schnell zu Gunsten von Vanille und anderen Gewürzen in den Hintergrund tritt. Angenehm mild und trocken. Abgang: Würzig und leicht bitter. Fazit: Ein Rum aus Barbados dessen große Stärke seine Ausgewogenheit ist. Gefällt an der Nase und am Gaumen. Komplexität sucht man hier allerdings vergebens. Easy sipping."

"Retasting this one on a regular basis and today I enjoy it again. A lovely rum from nose to finish. Got this one today and it is a wonderful rum well worth the price tag. Slightly dry in the finish but great overall from nose to finish."

"14. Tag im Weihnachtskalender. Blind! War gar nicht so leicht. Barbados ja. Mount Gay, sehr vielleicht. Aber er ist auch dem Velier Antigua 2012 in Farbe, Nase und Geschmack extrem ähnlich! Interessant. N: frisch-würzig-fruchtig-blumig. Der Alkohol sticht massiv. Dahinter aber feine Früchte: Papaya, Feige, Dattel und Pfirsich. Unterstrichen von Honig mit Veilchen, fast Sahnebonbon. Dann Vanille und Muskat. Hinten raus trocken-holzig und etwas Minze. G: etwas gedeckter. Bitter, intensiv salzig, etwas röstig-speckig und Mandel. Kräuter, Minze und Lakritz. Hinten raus Heu. Wirklich ein Guter!"

"On the nose and palate a lot of wood barrel and roasted aromas. The 66% ABV are also clearly perceptible. Overall, pretty rough, which in turn makes him but also interesting."

Top review from Dom M
"Out of a small cross tasting: Rum Mercenary is the most lifely with some floral notes while the other three have a more similar profile. Rum Cask is very well balanced an approchable. RumClub feels the most intense with some funky notes. The Duchess is the most elegant out of the bunch and my personal winner."

"Alkoholic, but with some water it improves much and becomes somewhat creamy in the mouth. Water also releasens a hint of garage and petrol in the nose"

"This is a great full body cask strength rum and I can only recommend it. Only 3000 bottles made so you have to be fast. "

"Unusual Mount Gay. Very nice mint - almost reminiscent of a TDL."

"Leicht Bittere Holznoten treffen eine angenehm süßlichen Früchtemix. In der Nase denke ich ein bisschen an Cointreau. Für eine bessere Bewertung dürfte man den Alkohol im Abgang nicht so merken."

"This is a very atypical but delicious Rum from Mount Gay🤤Blind you’ll never say this is a MG 😅 The alcohol is integrated well. Some atypical tastes in mouth and finish with some notes of licorice, tobacco and a nice taste of the oak barrel. It‘s an awesome everyday rum with a good price per value ratio. I see this one slightly behind the 2000 MG from S.B.S Update: Found some nice licorice and rubber notes 😜 The second sip was a lot better, more impressive. By far the best from mount gay🤤🤤 enjoyed it a lot"

"This is a nice rum especially at the price. The age is very present in the profile as the wood takes the front seat along some fruity and spice notes. Nice warm/spicy on the palate and I like the smoky wood it serves your palate and finish."

Top review from Jakob
"One of the better Mount Gay rums I know - but the profile remains too insignificant for me. Alcohol integration seems to be a constant challenge of the distillates, moreover, the flavor spectrum remains overall quite close together. Smoky notes, oak, spices - here for a change with some tropical fruit freshness. Can not inspire me, unfortunately."

"Another nice release. I sampled this rum at the GRF and bought a bottle to bring home. Nicely balanced and fruity with some wood. The flavours come at you from opening the bottle and in the empty glass you get a lovely nose even the day after sampling."

Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
"This is a very nice and easy sipping rum from Mount Gay. A typical Bajan rum in nose and palate. The nose is elegant with spice, a bit of orange and charred barrel. The palate starts off with a bit of sweetness, spicy and a bit dry. There is some leather and earthyness to it as well. The finish is medium long, dry and with charred oak and ginger. Again a tiny bit of earthyness on the way out. "

"A decent rum. The full body comes well. It has a tingling acidity on the tongue, grips like a battery."

"The nose is very good for a starter rum. Oak, tobacco, fruit and then polish. Very well balanced.In the mouth then disappointment. Woody, one dimensional and thin. The alcohol stings.As I said, a good introduction to unsweetened rum."

"This is one of the rums I have probably had the most of over time. A rum developed in 1911 and used in many mixers, which is where i learned about it in my teens way back. Not a super good sipper when you're used to the better Barbadian rums, but a very good choice in mixers. Have many memories both good and bad about this rum 🤣 Many a hangover have been traced back to this particular rum."
