Mount Gay Black Barrel

Black barrel element is surely strong and because of it this really reminds me of a moderate whisky. Someone might like it, but next time I will be in the mood for whisky, I will buy whisky.

This is a medium-dark rum with very nice taste qualities, perhaps a little frustrating as it's not the best for sipping, though it avoids the heavy molasses qualities of many dark rums. I use it as top-off or for creating some mixed rums, and I find it combines well with some light rums like Cruzan Light (I will use it this way in a dry mojito), and to bring up the overall flavor particularly last-minute when you've run out of better rums. It's still a little expensive but I like it much more than the slightly less expensive Mount Gay offerings. Overall I think it's a worthwhile general rum to keep on your bar-shelf even if you don't use it as an everyday rum.

okay, but nothing special. After first or second drink, I left it on the shelf for mixing.

This rum has it all, the good 'old' pirate smell and taste.

Not that great for sipping to me. Excellent for mixology.

not exactly my taste as it is a bit stronger than I would expect.

Forgot to take some rum on holiday with me so I picked this up in Duty Free and it was actually pretty reasonable, just smooth enough to drink on it own but actually this one I preferred with Diet Coke.

This was ok but a little bland. Perhaps would be better taken straight

Ikke slem, men heller ikke et glas jeg sad og hyggede med.
Næste gang kommer der cola eller ginger beer i glasset også 🤗

Not a big fan of this one. Quite strong, bit too harsh to my taste.
