Review by Christoph
A beautiful walk in the woods that leaves a dreamy furriness on the palate.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
I just don't get along with the 2000 bmmg Mark. Alcohol absolutely not well integrated, sourly smoky and tobacco-heavy and much too woody. Sorry but this is for me a failure.
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Independent Mount Gay. Let's go. Nose: juniper. Yoghurt. Citrus. So there's a weird mix of acidic fruits and dairy going on. Whiff of smoke...very faint. Interesting. Not your common rum. The juniper/gin note is very much there Taste: so there a bit of smokiness here, from the cask?? Peppery/spicy. Some freshness. The dairy is gone though. Typical Mount Gay flavours with an edge. It's a weird one. Will retry soon. As for now...decent old rum.
Review by Oliver
Solid Mount Gay, which has a little too much anise for me personally. Reminds through the herbaceous mint something of Clarendon.
Review by Alex Kunath
Die Minze oder Eukalyptus ist mega präsent! Schmeckt mir ausgesprochen gut!
Review by Carlitooo
Im Direktvergleich zum Rumclub Ed 23 um einiges schwächer. Es fehlt etwas Komplexität und das Honig Aroma kommt nicht so geil durch, leider auch minimal alkoholisch im Abgang
Review by Alexander Rasch
A very tasty, strong rum that is beautifully balanced when nosing. On the palate, the rum is intense with lots of spice, herbs and a very creamy structure. Compared to Rumclub BMMG, it is rather fruity and sweeter with beautiful roasted aromas. The Rumclub is smokier with more cask... I like the RC a touch better.

This is a nice rum especially at the price. The age is very present in the profile as the wood takes the front seat along some fruity and spice notes. Nice warm/spicy on the palate and I like the smoky wood it serves your palate and finish.
Review by Agricoler
Delicious Mount Gay with plenty of power from the barrel. Still clearly fruity on the nose. Nice smokiness in the taste and finish with a little honey and herbs as well as tobacco. All in all, a nice rum with a bit of variety.
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Woody, smoky and herbal. On the palate also fruit. Intense Mount Gay.

Gefällt mir gut! Geht in Richtung Clarendon
Review by Martin Spooner
Han noch schon ne Weile drauf gefreut. Heute ist es soweit. Die Nase relativ schwach aber karamellig. Am Gaumen doch gut holzig und würzig. Ein ganz eigene Geschmack. Karamell-Menthol würde ich sagen. Mittelstarker bis starker Abgang.
Review by PeterPapp
Hatte eben erst eine 78 gegeben. Allerdings ist der Mount Gay mit jedem Schluck leckerer geworden. Daher Update auf 80
