How does this rum taste?
RumX members praise its expressive nose—vanilla, coconut and ripe fruit—leading to roasted oak and leather at a bold 60% ABV. A long vanilla-citrus finish follows. Often enjoyed neat in small sips after a brief rest. Popular on RumX with 59 reviews and strong buyer confidence, this 14‑year, 1200‑bottle release delivers a robust Mount Gay profile, though several note some alcohol heat and a charred, slightly bitter edge.

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.
Amazing balance that this rum has throughout its tasting!It also has a fantastic concentration of flavors!I love it!
The nose quite appealing (apart from the yet quite pungent alcohol) with vanilla, barrel, coconut, orange peel. On the palate, however, extremely burnt / charred. Since I reach then but rather to the more balanced and more complex RumClub Ed. 23 BMMG.
