How does this rum taste?
- Sehr ausgewogen, nicht zu schwach, nicht zu stark
- Alkohol ist sehr gut integriert
- Intensiv trotz nur 48%
RumX members find the Mount Gay Master Blender Collection - Andean Oak Cask a complex mix of medicinal, vegetal, and honey notes, with distinct "minty" and woody edges. Leather and glue show on the nose, as Timo Groeger says: "Nase medizinisch, Leder und Klebstoff." Many mention the Andean oak's influence—Rowald Sweet Empire calls it a "weird but inviting balance between glue and yellow fruits." While some see this as the most unusual of Mount Gay’s special editions, opinions split on the wood: it brings interesting spice for some, but dominates for others. Despite mixed views on balance and a touch of bitterness for a few, most agree it’s an "intensiv[e]" and "technically interesting" rum.

"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."
