Mount Gay Black Barrel

The color of the rum is dark almost has a whiskey flavor but worth trying.

Nice to have in the cabinet... still for mixed drinks

Nothing special, very dry and leathery. But I guess for what it costs, it is still pretty smooth. I guess I wouldn't kick it out of bed

Oak taste is very good. Not too crazy about it as a sipping rum.

LOTS of oak and spice, some alcohol afterburn. It's good, but there isn't enough going on here when you drink it neat. An ice cube brings out some sweetness and makes it smoother. Still, there are better sippers and mixers out there, from Barbados and elsewhere.

this rum is a good one. 8 out of 10. it isnt as much flavour in this rum than in the mount gay xo, but take a look at the price. thats great and the best neat starting rum of mount gay, i think.

Wood, caramel, charcoal, and some sweetness are all more prevalent here than the eclipse. Good enough to sip, but better as a mixer.

I tried a shot of Mount Gay Black Barrel at a bar over ice. I need more of this in my life! So far, my favorite rum. It smells like honey, feels good in the mouth, and gives a nice warmth to the throat, but not a burn. I love sipping this with my dessert of a chocolate marquise.

Smells and tastes of honey, oak, bourbon, and spiced.
Drink this on the rocks!
Food rum.

Goutfruité tres prononcé et particulierement de banane. Je l'ai bu sans glace mais aurait ete meilleur avec.
