Nicely drinkable rum with strong notes of charred barrels. Stronger taste than most rums. Still one of my favorites

If you like whisky and/or bourbon you will most likely like this style of rum. Pretty good as a sipper imo.

To me this Mount Gay tastes like a hybrid between rum and bourbon, and not outstanding in either category. However for something sippible, mixable and a bit different it's an interesting choice (especially if you love bourbon). I wouldn't turn it down, but I won't be buying it again...at $50 I've found several that I much prefer.

Nice nose, but taste is too muddled with no discernible notes.

Tasted at Laka Lono on 9/14/21. Rich gold in color. Marshmellows. Caramel. Toffee. Not much bourbon to the aroma at all. Flavor has a mixed woody and bourbon backbone. Bit of a hacksaw palate. Finishes with a cloying woodiness.

I know it's not the greatest rum, but for it's price it is all around very good. Not very harsh upon first sipping and has a great sweet warm aroma/taste almost immediately that lingers.

Discreto, ma per il prezzo, meglio spendere qualche spicciolo in piΓΉ e comprarsi qualcosa di meglio.
