    Vanilla and oaky spice lead the charge in this limited Mount Gay release, accented by caramel and gentle herbal notes. Many RumX tasters highlight its complexity, depth, and a pleasing touch of sweetness, with a notably long and bittersweet finish. Some find the alcohol robust, but consensus points to real character and classic Barbadian style. Worth a sip for fans of powerful, nuanced pot still rums.

     Retasting this one on a regular basis and today I enjoy it again. A lovely rum from nose to finish. Got this one today and it is a wonderful rum well worth the price tag. Slightly dry in the finish but great overall from nose to finish.

     The nose is fruity and complex, but in the mouth I find it backward with an alcohol not very well integrated

     Lots of wood, very spicy to peppery. Pleasant, not too sweet vanilla. Some banana, but not overripe and a few herbs. The alcohol remains a bit edgy, but not unpleasant. Liked.

     This has long been my favorite from Mount Gay. Compared to other representatives of the distillery, I like the slightly more pronounced caramel sweetness here, which makes for an overall more harmonious basic aroma. Accessible rum at a high quality level.
