“Very relaxed and round rum on the nose. Lots of cream toffee, caramel, milk chocolate, vanilla, marzipan, roasted aromas, fruit (banana!) and wine influence (red fruits, berry). I really like it. In the mouth balanced spicy, bitter chocolate, berry/wine and sweet molasses. In the finish more port wine, red berries, roasted chocolate, fruity and vanilla, accompanied briefly by a peppery spiciness. Price definitely too high, but very high quality! Complex and my favorite from the Master Blender series.”

“Wow, this is actually a positive surprise. Impressive how well the Mount Gay profile harmonizes with the intense influence of the port barrel. Lots of heavy fruit sweetness, plus wood and spice aromas, but all bite is taken away. Almost on the border of too much sweetness, but thus also simply extremely drinkable. Great release.”

“Very pleasing and round port cask from Mount Gay. On the nose, I encounter the distinctive, heavy tones of Barbados, paired with the fruitiness of the port. In the mouth, a chocolaty and very creamy texture quickly emerges, which is complemented by sweet wine and spice. The pleasant 55% vol. ensures a warm mouthfeel. The M.G. port cask expression finishes palatable and spicy with a not quite as long finish. A good Barbados that scores points with its smoothness and chocolate.”

“Mount Gay is one of my favourite distillers and I just need to have their special editions because I know they usually rock. Now I have all 3 of these master blender editions and they're all great in their own way. The nose is fruity and sweet with spices and a touch of marzipan and you can get the esters too. The palate is complex and well balanced with fruit, spices and chocolate. The Port finish also shines through. The finish is extremely long and dry, as usual with Mount Gay, fruity and the Port cask finish lingers there as well.”

“Excellent rum and overall one of my favorites from the Master Blender Collection bottlings so far. Fruity, full-bodied, sweetish, the port makes itself positively noticeable!”

“Indeed it is a very coherent rum, we just entered the pastry shop of the corner of the street, banana, chocolate. We are clearly in another dimension than the xo triple cask drunk just before but not the 4th either. And of the blow that has to be very good, I find that a little expensive...”

“On The Rocks: On the nose it has a sweet fruity smell of Port with a mild port sweetness. Taste has a strong spice with leather and an oaky delayed warmth… very smooth overall. Finish is long with a sweet fruit and spicey warmth evolving into a slightly bitter treacle. Very pleasant and enjoyable with lots of complexity and suggested only a sipper at this price point. Mixed Pepsi Zero: Leathery, Woody and Earthy Aroma. Little washed out but mild spice and very smooth overall. Due to the rarity it would not be a good mixer.”
