Habitation Velier Mount Gay Last Ward

Bold mint, caramel, and spice—herbal, dry, and warming.

Aromas of vanilla, wood, orange peel, and glue lead into a palate rich with caramel, spices, mint, and barrel notes. The consensus highlights a unique, herbaceous profile with punchy alcohol—distinctive for Mount Gay and recommended for adventurous tasters.

    How does this rum taste?

    • Fresh mint and herbal notes
    • Layered vanilla and caramel
    • Complex, original profile

    Minty freshness and herbal notes stand out in this bold Mount Gay pot still release, mingling with layers of vanilla, caramel, and roasted wood. The palate is dry, spicy, and marked with hints of menthol, baking spices, and subtle fruits, though some find the alcohol punchy. RumX tasters praise its complexity and originality—especially for those seeking a drier, more powerful Barbados profile. Worth discovering if you enjoy herbal, woody rums with a twist.

    "Unusual Mount Gay. Very nice mint - almost reminiscent of a TDL."

    "It didn't blow me away, but I found the burn finish interesting. A little unbalanced the alcohol integration."

    "A rock-solid rum, but in my opinion it lacks almost any enthusiasm. Spices, herbs, wood, a little caramel sweetness and a present smoky note are recognizable, and there is also a little fruitiness."

    "To round off the Whitsun weekend, a little mount gay last ward comparison. Both are very similar, but the nuances are different. In the back of my mind, both remind me a little of T.D.L's. For me it's a neck and neck race, although I would prefer the RX190 due to the better P/L ratio."
