    "Mega delicious, very harmonious and for me probably one of the best mount gays on the market! Alcohol perfectly integrated The taste of port wine meets dark chocolate, coconut and banana. Very, very cool! :)"

    "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. Supplement: Velier Absolutio is slightly ahead. It is more mature and even rounder than the MG."

    "The port finish and higher ABV make this bottling the 2nd best of the standard range. Only the Madeira Cask tops here."

    "Wow, this Mount Gay is really great. Really nice nose consisting of vanilla, honey and chocolate. The palate is also vanilla and chocolate, very leathery and spicy, but really great. Thanks Tim for the sample."
