“The Madeira barrel and higher alcohol content give the rum a nice boost of complexity. Reminds by the coconut and toasty Kako associations of a very good Foursquare. Column still quite dominant, nevertheless great rum!”

“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.”

“Die Nase ist sehr zurückhaltend. Das Madeira-Fass ist deutlich zu erkennen, insgesamt relativ süß mit karamell, getr. Früchten, Honig, Rosine und Schokolade. Am Gaumen ist der Alkohol so gut wie gar nicht zu spüren. Auch hier ist deutlich das Madeira-Fass herauszuschmecken. In Summe ein sehr runder und süffiger Mount Gay.”

“Very warm, powerful and balanced on the nose. Dried fruit, apple, caramel. Round. Dried fruit and spice with plenty of pepper. The opposite pole is formed by citrus fruits that bring in freshness. Also remotely reminiscent of a good ron. Warm and spicy finish. My best Mount Gay to date. However, it lacks the complexity and specific profile of the premier league. But it's well crafted and certainly drinkable.”

“Wow, very very tasty, a good interplay of all the flavors. So good that you have to restrain yourself. In the finish, the finish becomes a little more dominant or clearer to the fore.”

“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.”

“Ein Meisterwerk von Mount Gay, einer der wenige die für mich den XO übertreffen. Schöne Komplexität, hat von allem etwas und der Madeira Einfluss ist nicht zu stark/überlagernd. Super rund und angenehm”
