How does this rum taste?
Warm, balanced long-aged Barbados
If you like measured, long-aged Barbados (think classic Mount Gay style) and want more intensity without huge funk or sugar, this single cask is a very rewarding next step.
Drinkers seeking high-ester funk, big sweetness, or very flashy profiles; and those who dislike a touch of dryness or astringency from long oak aging.

#4121 First off, price to quality is pretty good in my mind. Intense and fruity with a well balanced ABV. Despite the age the wood isn't dominant but rather well balanced with the other flavours. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass is very nice and I can pick up some chocolate and pineapple.
Very good, round, somewhat astringent Mount Gay.
Ist glaube ich mein erster Rum der Destillerie, und gefällt mir leider nicht so sehr. Nase geht noch, Geschmack dann weniger.
Eine schöne Nase, die dann am Gaumen leider nicht liefern kann.
