Velier Mount Gay Elliott Erwitt 2007 14yr 60%
The "Elliott Erwitt" Mount Gay rum, a 14-year-old limited release from Barbados crafted by Velier, captivates with its complex aroma of vanilla, glue, and tropical fruits. Tasting notes reveal intense flavors of leather and wood, a spirited but harsh palate indicative of its 60% ABV. While celebrated for its unique, bold profile, some enthusiasts find the alcohol integration lacking. A prized collectible among rum lovers, its steep price is justified by its uniqueness and aroma, though alternatives exist for those seeking a milder experience. The rum intrigues connoisseurs and collectors alike, standing out for its intense character, yet needing a skilled nose and palate for full appreciation.

“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.”

“Not the best Mount Gay in my mind. I've had better and far cheaper ones. Again this will probably be a collectors item like the others. The nose is fruity with oak, vanilla, polish and lovely chocolate. If you leave the empty glass for a few hours these flavours will be even more powerful. The palate is fruity with roasted oak, caramel, leather, vanilla and chocolate. The finish is long with caramel, vanilla, orange and light nuttiness.”
