Master Select 1703 is a rare Barbados rum crafted at the historic Mount Gay distillery. Distilled from molasses using a traditional pot still and aged for 10 years, it invites you into a sensory journey marked by vanilla, caramel, dried fruit and raisin aromas, complemented by woody oak, nutty undertones and hints of spice. Our RumX community values its balanced complexity and artisanal finish, even if some feel the oak can be a touch dominating or the finish a bit short. This limited release of 12,000 bottles presents a genuine, thoughtfully crafted experience for rum enthusiasts seeking both authenticity and quality in a fine drink.

"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."

"Lightly dry and well balanced rum with a nice fruity touch and some caramel."

"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."

"An almost perfect Barbados blend. A few percent more would have stood him certainly very well. But even so I find him, provided you give him some time in the glass, extremely tasty"
