Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 23 BMMG

I love this honey note - reminds me personally strongly of Rockley 1986Toll balanced and top PLV

בקבוק סופר פירותי וטעים. מאונט גאי עושין יופי של רום. פה מדובר בבחירת חבית דיי לא אקטיבית. הרבה פירות. שוקולד. דגש על בננה וטרופיות. גם אפרסק. בעיניי הוצאה מאוד מפתיעה וטעימה. גם יש מורכבות זה משתנה הרבה במעלה הדרך משוקולד, הופך למלא פירות יבשים וכתומים.

This is a very atypical but delicious Rum from Mount Gay🤤Blind you’ll never say this is a MG 😅 The alcohol is integrated well. Some atypical tastes in mouth and finish with some notes of licorice, tobacco and a nice taste of the oak barrel. It‘s an awesome everyday rum with a good price per value ratio. I see this one slightly behind the 2000 MG from S.B.S Update: Found some nice licorice and rubber notes 😜 The second sip was a lot better, more impressive. By far the best from mount gay🤤🤤 enjoyed it a lot

Ein sehr gelungener Mount Gay und schöner alter Barbados Rum. Habe eine Soft Spot für Mount Gay und bin daher voll zufrieden. Besonders die Nase ist ein Fest. Ganz anders als die Last Wards und daher eine tolle Erweiterung.

Tasted as a 5cl sample. Very atypical nose for Mount Gay and Barbados in general. Pineapple, yellow stone fruit, mirabelle plum, marzipan, vanilla, spices, wood and subtly smoky. A great nose that I would never have attributed to Barbados. In terms of taste, it is a little more in the direction of Barbados. The pineapple aroma is special here. Very mild, with a nice heavy consistency and a long finish. A top rum that I can't criticize. So far my favorite rum from Barbados.

Mount gay degustation 13.1.2025

A strong smokiness that fades with time and gives way to pineapple and lychee, which can also be found in the taste together with some chocolate. The whole thing is not Hampden Funky, but it is still exceptional in its own way. The finish is again completely different, leathery and nutty with some tobacco. Dry leather remains on the palate for a long time.

I blindly guessed it to be Clarendon. It has a lot of bitter almond and marzipan in the taste. But if you know it, it is of course a typical Mount Gay. PLV very good!

Usually I find Mount Gay quite dry and spicy, but this is quite enjoyable. I had this as a comparison of different bottlings of this Marque, and found this to be the best variant, albeit by a small margin only.

We tasted four Mount Gay 2000 releases at the Rum-X Community Tasting. The tasting was very entertaining, but the rums only made a small contribution. Overall, the rums were very similar, the differences lie in the nuances. Personally, I don't like the profile that much, as the fruit is simply missing. Even in the post-tasting, it is difficult to perceive new nuances in the fourth. Leading notes: banana and cereal (keyword: banana wheat 🤫), peach and peach iced tea are also new. In terms of taste, the rum club is venturing into new realms. It is significantly fruitier but also more acidic: pineapple and various citrus fruits, almost Jamaican. The floral notes remain in the background. The finish is not particularly exciting - the acidity almost takes over.

A rather atypical Barbados representative. In addition to fruity notes on the nose, there is also smoke, wood and a sweetness reminiscent of marzipan. The palate then turns back to the fruit notes with orange, mandarin and yellow fruits. Leather and barrel on the finish. I like it! 👍

05.04.2024 Mount Gay Extreme Rare online tasting mit Dirk. Retasting and I still think this is a pretty good release. Price to quality is very good in my mind. ----------------------- Typical barbados rum from nose to finish. Price to quality is very good. The nose is fruity and has light smoky wood to it and some vanilla after resting. The palate is typical Barbados with lots of fruit and smoky wood, vanilla and chocolate is trailing. The chocolate gets more obvious once the glass is empty and has been standing for a while. The rum draws nice curtains in the glass. The finish is long and warm with smoky wood and tropical fruits.

Out of a small cross tasting: Rum Mercenary is the most lifely with some floral notes while the other three have a more similar profile. Rum Cask is very well balanced an approchable. RumClub feels the most intense with some funky notes. The Duchess is the most elegant out of the bunch and my personal winner.

Für mich ein erkennbarer, wenngleich kein typischer Vertreter aus Barbados. Klare Noten von Marzipan und Vanille. Sehr fruchtiger Vertreter für seine Herkunft. Alkohol ist gut eingebunden. Guter Sipper mit wenig Ecken und Kanten.

A beautiful interplay of yellow fruit (mirabelle plum), wooden barrel and spices on the nose. This continues on the palate: toasty, spicy notes alternate with candied fruit and chocolate. The finish is spicy and rather dry.
