Mount Gay Black Barrel

This rum is good for it’s money. Tastes Well and leaves u with a feeling, that u should visit all the small islands around Barbados and drink rum.

I don't like my rum all bourboned up like this.

It was a lovely Mt. Gay rum that they ruined by finishing in bourbon casks.

With that said, I've enjoyed it in place of my usual Barbados rums.

Decent Corn n' oil.

This I had at a steakhouse in Houston. It wasn’t terrible but was in my opinion completely overhyped. Little to no taste except for alcohol, which I like my rum to have a little flavor.

Après un premier essai m'ayant laissé dubitatif, une deuxième dégustation m'a fait découvrir un rhum riche en saveur.

The standard daily rum for mixing and on the rocks. It’s smooth and priced well. Also very accessible!

Initial smell wasn’t very good - chemical/alcohol. Then I’m thinking … oh no. But then I sipped. I’m an advanced intermediate rum drinker - by no means an expert.

I could taste the caramel immediately, but in a good way. To me, it’s not as sweet as Diplomatico Reserva. Reminded me of Brach’s caramel candy squares I used to eat as a kid.

No burn, no bad after taste. And after a few great sips, I smelled again and could cleanly smell caramel.

I can’t wait to taste the “better” Dictador’s. But I will say that this was a fine introduction. I look forward to sipping XO.

But in the meantime, I’m going to enjoy the rest of the bottle. For $25 US, I’d say it is one hell of a rum. I’m kinda sad that it was the last bottle at TWN & they didn’t have a label on the shelf, so it was the last bottle :(

Can’t believe that the coffee and orange bottles were a higher price. I definitely recommend giving it a try!

Pour moi le meilleur de la gamme.
Rhum puissant et boisé

The bourbon touch is definitely there, making it a smooth woody rum, easy to drink and great value for money.

I paid 30 Euro for a litre of well made, well balanced Barbados rum. It will not blow you off your socks, but it does outperform many bottlings of more expensive competition. (Zacapa, Diplomatico, I'm looking at you.)

Light and smooth. Sugary sweetness up front. Burn in the back, a little unexpected. Barrel flavor comes through without being overwhelming. Slightly complex but nothing phenomenal.
