My new Mount Gay reference! The Madeira barrel and the higher alcohol content give the rum a nice boost of complexity. Reminds of a very good Foursquare through the coconut and toasty cacao associations. Great rum!

Probably together with the Port cask Expression the best I have ever drunk from Mount Gay. Incredibly complex, intense and funky. Madeira influence harmonizes perfectly with the rum and makes really fun!

A great throw from Mount Gay, pulls for me qualitatively equal to the Port Cask Expression, which I also already found fantastic.

I bought this one at the German Rum Fest just before it closed down and enjoying it right now for a second tasting. A ver nice and balanced rum. Fruity with spice and light wood. I like the overall balance and natural sweetness. Overall a very well rounded rum with a very good price tag in my mind. I do have all the previous cask expressions and i think they line up pretty well to each other.

Crass rum, infinitely round. Honey, fruit, wood, wine, chocolate and spices blend perfectly. Mild and delicious in the mouth, the flavors of the nose continue to pull through. Compared to the Port Cask Expression, this rum is a bit more approachable and easier to drink, but that doesn't make it better or worse now. I think both are brilliant. Unfortunately, the price is set quite high.

Typical Bajan. Reminds me a lot of FC ECS releases with that touch of red fruits. Well balanced.
