    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love this Mount Gay’s vibrant pot still character and expressive fruit‑spice profile. The nose layers caramel, yellow fruits and vanilla over a touch of young wood; the palate follows with tropical fruit, honeyed sweetness, anise and warming spice. At 55% the alcohol feels well integrated. Different from classic Mount Gay. With 64 community reviews and strong buyer confidence, it’s a distinctive release limited to 4002 bottles.

    Ein Sample vom Rumfestival 20.09.2024 Intensive Lack- und Lösungsmittelnoten. Mount Gay ist im Hintergrund gut erkennbar - Bananenbrot, Vanille, Keks, Karamell und Früchte. Nach einer Weile kommen tropische Früchte, vor allem Mango, zum Vorschein. Schöne, komplexe Würze. Eine tolle Nase, sehr komplex und interessant. Im Mund sehr ölig, schönes Gefühl. Karamell, Trockenfrüchte und sehr würzig. Tolle Trinkstärke. Prickelnde Zitrusfrüchte und wärmende Würze im Abgang. Sauguter Mount Gay mit Ecken und Kanten. Handwerklich toll gemacht. Davon war ich sehr positiv überrascht.😀

    Tastes like cough syrup… first mount hay I didn’t like (like really really really didn’t like) I hope it stays an exception ;)

    Out of the box dry nice taste price?

    Good, fruity and herbaceous aroma but still a little young in my opinion. With a little more ageing and melting I can imagine it very well. I wouldn't have guessed Barbados or MG blind, I don't think.
