Oak and toffee in the nose with a hint of tobacco. On the tongue it greets with caramel, transitions to toffee, and ends with a smooth slight oak. Overall an exceptional rum!
Solid go to rum especially with a cigar. Good price range for this quality aged rum

Doftar vanilj, ek och mild sprit. Inte alls söt men inte heller helt torr. Lite lätt funky fruktsmak av banan och ananas.

Good but not great. Had a good vanilla smell but the taste was too sharp.

Wow, this is one of the best. A lot of flavour and nicely smooth. Not to sweet.
Go for it!

A great rum with balanced notes of cigar and vanilla. Oak is present but well balanced. Long pleasant aftertaste that is just addictive!
Drink pure or as suggested on Mount Gay’s website with an coconut water ice cube. Perfect!

Not overly sweet. We’ll crafted and good value. I bought a second bottle!

The barrel aging comes through strong and its pretty darn dry so if you have a sugar tooth your not going to like this. This is a straight up neat in a tumbler whisky and rye drinkers rum. I like that it's bottled at 43% the extra heat makes for a warming session. This is perfect cool weather rum for occasions such as an evening spent on the beach.
I'm doing a side by side with the Brugal 1888 which has a higher grassy cane tone and maybe for that a justified 40% hence smoother quality but still I just think all rum should be bottled above 80 proof.
Both are top notch and side by side it's like Simon and Garfunkel but your not sure which one is Simon.
If you are exploring the world of Rum such as I and are coming from a single malt or bourbon background than this is a 100% sure bet must try at least once. It may not be your favorite but there is no way your going to be disappointed. For me I have placed a rather large 'YES' stamp on my file card.
I now know this is the goods.
