A good rum, the bottle was fun to drink. Special flavor profile. The full body is good. It has a tingling acidity on the tongue, like a battery. I also like the cherry notes.
A nice rum from Mount gay, alcahol well integrated, for me a nice easy drinking strength. I am getting fruits, mention and a certain level of smokiness. Not every rum needs to be a cask strength bruiser! Quite a short finish.
Very very strange distillate.... Yellow fruits, charcoal and slightly sour... I don't have to have it again... I wouldn't have expected this from mount gay. Overall disappointing for me, sorry.
Completely contrary to expectations - very round nose with lots of fruit, honey, toffee and herbal notes. The whole is complemented by some chocolate and vanilla. A little smokier in the mouth, now with a lot of almond influence, but always herbal and fruity. The finish is also wonderful, delivering more chocolate in places, but also strong menthol and smoke. The 48% is within reason and offers intense aromas. Compared to the Andean Oak, the nose is a little weaker, but the mouth experience is better.
