How does this rum taste?
- great exercise in balance
- very nice and good price tag
- stands up in an El Presidente
Mount Gay Black Barrel Double Casks Blend draws steady praise for its creamy balance of vanilla, toffee, and caramel, all wrapped up with a subtle oak influence. Expect a "great exercise in balance" (Zach) featuring both bourbon-like wood and a "medium to long" finish with touches of spice and chocolate. Some liken its character to a sweet yet slightly spicy dessert, pointing out its ability to shine in cocktails—"my goto for stirred cocktails" (DJ Wolfson). RumX users note it's approachable but can edge toward the sweet side for some palates.

To Mount Gay
"Sehr gutes PLV, guter Begleiter im Corn‘n Oil oder in Schüttel-Getränken. Zum Pur-Trinken mir ein wenig zu alkoholisch, dafür lieber ein paar Dukaten mehr für den XO investieren. Aber insgesamt ein ordentlicher Rum"
"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."
"Very good price-performance ratio"
"C est un rhum d entrée de gamme dans cette marque. Donc ça reste assez linéaire sur du boisé doux-toffee-caramel - vanille et épices douces. La finale est courte. Dans l ensemble on ressent un peu l alcool malgré le faible titrage. Bon rhum pour cocktail"
