“05.04.2024 Mount Gay Extreme Rare online tasting mit Dirk. Restating this one and still like it a lot. It has some nice edges and once rested the ABV integration is amazing. I think the error I made upon the last tasting was going at it too fast. This time I rested it for an hour and it changed character. ------------------------- I had hoped this would be another top runner, but unfortunately the tannins and wood dominates far too much. The alcohol also burns and not in a good way. A few drops of water will help a little but not enough.”

“A MG with quite different facets. On the nose it is still quite restrained, but on the palate it is quite complex: sweetness, spices, fruit and some wood spoil the palate, in the finish is a beautiful fruitiness of sour cherry ... one of the clearly better Mount Gays ... but: the alcohol is unfortunately from the nose to the finish just too dominant ... although the rum was almost an hour in the glass ... the alcohol is always extfem present”
