    Obwohl ich nicht der größte Mount Gay Fan bin, muss ich sagen, dass mir der Duchess durchaus gefällt. Ich wüsste auch nicht, ob ich ihn blind überhaupt als Mount Gay erkannt hätte. An der Nase florale Noten, gelbe Früchte, Wassermelone, Karamellpudding. Am Gaumen Tabak, Gewürze. Hinten raus ordentlich Fass / Tannine.

    Out of a small cross tasting: Rum Mercenary is the most lifely with some floral notes while the other three have a more similar profile. Rum Cask is very well balanced an approchable. RumClub feels the most intense with some funky notes. The Duchess is the most elegant out of the bunch and my personal winner.

    This one was a huge surprise because it's not a typical Bajan rum nor the typical Mount Gay. They have managed to manipulate the final result in a very nice and surprising way. The nose is fruity and floral with sugarcane, nuts, light wood and a hint of vanilla. The palate is well balanced and lightly dry with fruit, sugarcane, floral notes and wood as again onlt a hint of vanilla. The finish is long and fruity with oak and a very light bitterness which becomes it pretty well. Price to quality is very good in my mind.

    We tasted four Mount Gay 2000 releases at the Rum-X Community Tasting. The tasting was very entertaining, but the rums only contributed a small part. Overall, the rums were super similar, with the differences being in the nuances. Personally, I don't like the profile as much, as it just lacks fruit. This one has the nicest nose out of the flight. It's more elegant than the others, reminiscent of light Worthy Parks or maybe Appletons. There is a present fruit of bananas and ripe melons, but behind that again the cloves and tobacco we know from the others are waiting. On the palate, fruit and floral notes keep the balance, wood and spices rather in the background: banana and pine needles. The banana remains in the mouth for a long time.
