Mount Gay Black Barrel Cask Strength 66%

“Rich, balanced, and fruity with coconut and chocolate notes. Exceptional!”

The Black Barrel Cask Strength from Mount Gay distillery is a remarkable expression of Bajan rum, bottled at 66% ABV. This cask strength rum presents a nose filled with coconut, milk chocolate, dried fruit, and honey, with subtle woody notes. On the palate, it offers a delightful combination of roasted flavors, banana, chocolate, and coconut, accompanied by a satisfying dryness. Users appreciate its balanced flavors, which include hints of baking spices, caramel, and vanilla, and the well-integrated alcohol. The charred bourbon cask influence adds depth and a touch of saltiness. Perfect as a sipping rum, it also shines in cocktails like a Corn 'n' Oil. An excellent choice for rum enthusiasts looking for complexity and richness in their rum experience.

“#4167 I have been through quite a few Mount Gays and the top releases are usually pretty good. So is this one. Fruity with roasted wood and a warm and lightly dry palate. Good balance between the flavours and ABV.”

“Der Rum braucht etwas Zeit um Glas. Dann hat er eine schöne Feuchtigkeit von Trockenfrüchten und Orangenschale in der Nase. Dazu eine Honigsüße und leichte Anklänge von Nelke. Unverkennbar Mount Gay. Im Mund holzig mit gerösteten Nüssen. Dazu etwas Karamell und zu trocken geratenes Bananenbrot. Das verkohlte Bourbonfass kommt mir insgesamt etwas zu sehr durch. In Kombination gibt es eine interessante, fast salzige Note. Der Abgang ist dann wieder deutlich gefälliger.”
