How does this rum taste?

Mount Gay's "Master Select 1703" boasts a symphony of vanilla, cookie dough, and banana, with hints of apple for a lively nose. A complex palate of spices and subtle woodiness leaves a craving for slightly more intensity. While concise in finish, this limited Barbadian blend offers an easy, classy sip, albeit with mixed feelings about its depth and price point.

“I rated the precursor, the “Old Cask 1703”, quite low, probably because it was my first contact with English styled rum. Now I appreciate this rum a lot and I will probably upgrade my rating of the “Old Cask 1703” if I make a retest.”

“Vanilla, cookie dough, banana and soothing freshness from apple notes. A nice balanced nose, just not particularly exciting.Then in the mouth a nice tingly feeling, unfortunately a bit watered down. Now nice complex spicy notes and well-dosed woodiness. In the finish a bit short.A nobly packaged Easy Sipper, tastes good, craftsmanship impeccable. Defiantly an unexciting product and too expensive.”
