Wir haben vier Mount Gay 2000er Release im Rum-X Community Tasting verkostet. Das Tasting war sehr unterhaltsam, die Rums haben aber nur einen kleinen Teil dazu beigetragen. Insgesamt waren die Rums super ähnlich, die Unterschiede liegen in den Nuancen. Mir persönlich sagt das Profil nicht so zu, da einfach die Frucht fehlt. Im Mund finde ich sie durch die Bank besser als in der Nase. Der Rum Mercenary ist der süßlichste der Runde, mit einer Getreidenote, die an Bourbon erinnert. Die Frucht in der Nase erinnert an reife Banane, dazu Tabak, Tee und Vanille mit leicht angekohltem Karamell. Der Mund ist intensiv und cremig mit einer schönen Süße. Das ist super smooth, aber leider nicht sonderlich komplex.

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.
