    How does this rum taste?

    Wild Series Rum Barbados No. 22 (Unicorn Set Vol 1) BMMG is a distinctive limited release produced at Mount Gay distillery in Barbados. Distilled from molasses with a pot still in 2001 and aged for 20 years, this rum is noted for its complex profile. Bottled at cask strength with an ABV of 56%, it offers aromas of banana, oak, and vanilla, followed by flavors of caramel, vanilla, and oak on the palate. While some find its spiciness and rich vanilla notes appealing, others feel it lacks the depth expected from its age. With only 170 bottles released, it's a rare find, collecting varied responses from the rum community.

    For a Mount Gay a comparatively exciting bottling, which is also ahead of the sister release for micj. But I'll stick with it - overall, the MG flavor profile doesn't pick me up enough.

    Tine flies and I didn't have time to add the tastings yesterday. Had a great evening with the two Unicorn releases with good friends and needless to say I wasn't able to drive anywhere myself afterwards. This Barbados release is marked BMMG and is pretty OK. Fruity with roasted wood and some vanilla. The empty glass on the other hand was really nice after an hour or so.

    The sample is apparently from the 1.5 L bottle of this rum, but makes no sense to me to have twice the same rum in the database. For me, this bottling is something special that I have not had before. Green unripe fruits, like green banana or green apple meet wood and spices injected by the bourbon barrel. Caramel or marzipan in the background. Spicy and peppery mouthfeel that leaves an intense vanilla note followed by candied fruit and spicy bitter chocolate. Very good!

    Amazingly good!
