How does this rum taste?
RumX members love its balanced, dry style with vanilla and oak leading the way. Expect a nose of caramel and dried fruit, followed by nutty, peppery spice and well-judged wood. Often enjoyed neat as an easy, well-crafted sipper, this limited 10‑year Mount Gay release (43%) has strong buyer confidence from 76 reviews, though some wish for more ABV punch and a longer finish.

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.
