"I really like this Mount Gay because it tastes great but is also very affordable, so you can mix a cocktail with it from time to time. The ageing in freshly distilled barrels is very clear, so it is very reminiscent of bourbon."

"The nose is quite spicy with notes of allspice and vanilla. Some fruit in the background. Similar to apricot. The palate has way more fruit than the nose. It rather sweet, lots of brown sugar notes. Some wood. But the fruit is definitely taking centre stage. The finish is medium to long with more bitter notes of bourbon and chocolate coming out. It's a brilliant rum, especially for the price and a big step up from the Mount Gay Eclipse. The bitterness of the finish is all I can really downgrade it on."

"Whisky & Rom Festival 2023 28.10.2023 This is a retaste and it's pretty good looking at the price tag. Tried it on Coca Cola and that's a great mix. ------------------- This rum is really well balanced in richness, spicyness and sweetness. Another great rum from Barbados. Price to quality is very good."
