This is one of the rums I have probably had the most of over time. A rum developed in 1911 and used in many mixers, which is where i learned about it in my teens way back. Not a super good sipper when you're used to the better Barbadian rums, but a very good choice in mixers. Have many memories both good and bad about this rum 🤣 Many a hangover have been traced back to this particular rum.
Neutral alcohol with rum notes. Suitable for cola, but there are better ones. Characterless supermarket rum.
Mild smoky note, light rum without strong impressions. Soft finish. Price very reasonable. Price-performance rum
Well this is ok. Pretty mild. Other stuff from Barbados are better for beginners. Its ok. טעימה ובכן. אין הרבה שאני יכול להוסיף שזה מגיע למאונט גאי. אחרי כמה חביות בודדות של המזקקה הזו אני בהחלט חושב שהפוטנציאל גבוה מאוד. רום קליל. בהיר. דבשי. אבל הביטוי חלש בכל פרמטר מול מקביליו הברבדוסים.
