Mount Gay Master Blender Collection - Andean Oak Cask

"Very unusual Mount Gay! The extra year in the Andean Oak is definitely noticeable. Alcohol is very well integrated and not too thin either. Flavor is rather herbal and spicy dry. Somewhat reminiscent of the mount gilboa from velier Warren Khong and the other velier mount gay bottlings. So really warm I do not get with the profile but.... Nevertheless, probably the most unusual mount gay of the Special Editions and quite exciting."

"Great pear associations. Then floral on the palate and a wet wood note. The Madeira cask, however, is again ne quality ribs on it."

"Schöne Nase, die stark durchstartet: harmonisch, sehr fruchtig und pflanzlich mit einer deutlichen Honignote. Im Mund und Abgang leider etwas unausgewogen, einen Tick zu bitter und sauer. Allerdings sehr intensiv trotz nur 48%, was mir positiv aufgefallen ist. Insgesamt ein guter Rum mit einem stolzen Preis."

"A nose that is difficult to describe. Beautiful sticky notes, honey, spices and fruity. Very balanced, not too weak, not too strong. Almost like a whisky in the mouth.🤣Honey, spice, dry and heather. The storage in oak barrels fits perfectly.👌 Nice tingling finish with good spice. You can tell that a very good product has been created here with skill and craftsmanship. However, there is still a lot missing from the top league, the taste profile is too arbitrary."

"05.04.2024 Mount Gay Extreme Rare online tasting mit Dirk. Retasting and I stick to my initial score. ----------------------- 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."

"Und dann doch noch heute die letzten Samples von Tim, die hier gefühlt schon ewig rumstehen. Dieser Mont Gay ist auf jeden Fall ein super Rum, Nase medizinisch, Leder und Klevstoff, am Gaumen kommt dann noch Holz und Minze dazu. Lecker :-)"

"Beim Rare Tasting mit Dirk im RumDepot. verkostet und war anfangs sehr begeistert. Nach einer Stunde im Glas lässt er jedoch extrem nach. Klebstoff, Gewürze, Ätherische Öle in der Nase, am Gaumen dann eher fruchtig, Holz. Nichts für jeden Tag, aber doch sehr intetessant."

"For me, the weakest of the Master Blender Collection so far, although the grumbling is at a very high level. Round and soft, some banana, little fig and vanilla. For me, just a little too much wood shines through. The bottom line is a great rum!"

"Heard good stuff about this one. Smell: instantly delicious. A weird but inviting balance between glue and yellow fruits. Taste: wow. Interesting mouthfeel. Somewhat starchy. Pencil shavings. Lots a mango. Love it. Very very good."

"Mount gay degustation 13.1.2025"

"Barbados I like it...in the aroma and then in the taste there are a little technical elements like in Jamaica, in the background there is a smell of wood...the taste is balanced, it is not sweet. Shame about the slightly shorter finish, the rum seems to end quickly...for me a hilarious piece and I could imagine having a whole bottle in the bar."

"A pleasant mintiness appears in the taste, the rum has a long dry, slightly minty finish, and a slight bitterness appears at the end. Technical or medicinal notes predominate in the aroma of this rum."

"Das Holzfass ist nicht meins"

"Nase starker Holzeindruck, bissel Klebstoff und Kräuter, Zunge leicht scharf, Mount gay Charakter geht leicht unter, ordentlicher Holzeinfluss, auch wieder Kräuter, leider nicht mein Geschmack"
