Mount Gay Master Select 1703 2017

 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.

 mega pity... the nose is extremely promising.... mango, wood, vanilla, some rose

 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

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

 Re-tasted today. great nose with light Esther and great and complex flavor. Almost excellent...

 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.

 My favourite Barbados, it smells of vanilla and fruit, 43% is just right, if it had more it would be even better...but as it is, it is beautifully rounded and smooth.

 A tasting at Nordic Rum and Whisky festival Copenhagen, 2022. Most of the samples were free of charge, but this one I wanted to buy a taste off. I found Notes of dried fruits, caramel and some spices. A dry aftertaste, but well-balanced

 Nice, dry, oak, vanilla, spices. Really not very sweet

 I am not a huge fun of these baking stuff

 Oaky vanilla, chocolate spread on toast and plump dried fruit, with wood spice, roasted coffee bean and ripe tropical fruit

 Good rum. Surprised by the lack of smell though

 Solid, but very heavy on the oak. Also wish it was bottles closer to 50%

 jemnejsi nez XO, ale CO mi sedi vic
