How does this rum taste?
RumX members love the toasty oak, vanilla and caramel of Mount Gay Black Barrel, with citrus and a touch of smoke. Dry, bourbon-cask vibe that works neat (or with a splash of water) and shines in rum and coke, Corn ’n Oil or Old Fashioned. A solid, value pick from Barbados; a little alcohol heat for some, but widely enjoyed and well reviewed by 190 RumX tasters.

Not too sweet and not too dry, very good balance. A real rum
Lekker. Iets te zachte nasmaak.
Ako veľmi jemná, mladšia a sladsia (v závere) whisky, za tie prachy super, ale slabšia komplexnosť ako XO, jemne stipnutie na záver, na druhý pokus veľmi mi to zachutilo, dlhé, štipľavé ale sladké, na tretí pokus zvyšujeme z 8.2 na 8.4, divný deň (nedeľa 10.3.) nejak mám inak nastavene chute. Vážne v chuti taká whiskova sladkosť, ale veľmi pitne
Excellent for conversion rum for a whisky drinker.
