Mount Gay Black Barrel Cask Strength

"#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."

"Extremely horny fullproof black barrel! Very round and harmonious, makes itself really good in the Corn'n'Oil!"

"The rum needs some time in the glass. Then it has a lovely moisture of dried fruit and orange peel on the nose. It also has a honey sweetness and slight hints of clove. Unmistakably Mount Gay. Woody in the mouth with roasted nuts. Some caramel and banana bread that is too dry. The charred bourbon barrel comes through a little too much for me. In combination, there is an interesting, almost salty note. The finish is then much more pleasing again."

"Fruity, roasted nose, a lovely chocolatey note with a hint of caramel in the mouth. The alcohol is well integrated. The finish was medium long, mild for the alcohol strength and dark chocolate remains. So Mount Gay can do better after all ;)"

"Toller ausgewogener Mount Gay, habe ich so selten im Glas gehabt. Sehr schokoladig und Kokosnuss, mit allem was man sich dazu wünscht: Holz, Vanille, Karamell, Gewürze. Bitte mehr davon von MG. Großes Dankeschön an Henry :-)"

"Superbe version du Black Barrel en version brut de futs. Content d’avoir pu mettre la main sur une quille exclusive à la distillerie!"

"Wow das gewinnt so sehr. Ein starker Mount Gax"

"Klassisches Mount Gay Profil an Nase und Gaumen, sehr trocken und würzig. Guter Barbados Rum ohne besondere Überraschungen."

"Always liked the classic Barbados Mount Gay, and this one takes it another step in the right direction being bottled at cask strength. Coconut and honey on the nose. Deep, dark roasted coffee and chocolate on the palette with some ripe banana and a long beautiful dry finish."

"Cask Strength Mount Gay is something I’ve been eager to try for quite some time, but up until now I’ve yet to have access to. Thanks to a family friend’s recent trip to the distillery, I’m finally able to change that—and it certainly doesn’t disappoint. Its exactly what I’d hope to see from MG and bajan rum; strong notes of coconut, caramel, and dried fruit, before the cask influence brings out charred oak and baking spices. It’s rather woody and dry (without being too aggressive tannic), and sips well below its hefty 66% abv. There’s a lot to love here, and I really hope it becomes more available internationally in the near future."

"Im Vergleich zu seinem verdünnten Bruder, ist die Cask strength Edition deutlich geschmackvoller und intensiver. Zu den Aromen von Eiche, Holz, Toffee und Zitrus gesellen sich hier deutliche Aromen von Banane, Mango, Cocos, Lakritz, Vanille. Der Alkohol ist sehr dominant und konnte besser eingebunden sein. Im Nachklang sehr anhaltend und wechselhaft in den Aromen. Toller Rum!"

"A pretty gay Mount. Nothing shows the 66% on the nose. The profile is fairly classic: dark chocolate, coconut, dried fruit, slightly spicy. On the palate, it's remarkably well-integrated, with a hint of morello cherry on the finish. That's the only little thing I'd criticize about this Mg: the lack of fruitiness. The finish is pleasant, full-bodied and correct in length. Not bad!"

"One of my go to bottles for value and easy pleasing. Not too complex, but accessible and good for friends who dont want to be too challenged"
