Mount Gay Master Blender Collection The Cognac Cask Expression 2021

Yellow fruit, light toffee and a clear cognac-cask influence over the familiar Mount Gay oak. Members find it unusually floral and delicate for the distillery, with orange, vanilla, grapes and a faintly roasted, oily palate. At 58% the strength reads well-tamed. Most enjoy it and note it drinks more mature than its four years, though a few felt the price sat high for what's in the glass.

Ungewöhnlich floral und blumig für einen mount gay, eher gelbe Früchte und leicht pflanzlich. Das Cognac Fass kommt definitiv voll zur Geltung. Lässt sich insgesamt sehr angenehm trinken aber haut mich nicht vom Hocker.

Lovely delicate Mount Gay. Heavy on the yellow fruits. Light toffee/caramel/floral notes. Tasted on Whisky Rum aan Zee 2025. Would love to try again.

Verkostung auf dem German Rum Festival 2025. Schöner Blend, weich vollmundig mit dem klar zu identifizierenden Mount Gay Profil. Sticht aber nicht heraus. Der aufgerufene Verkauspreis steht dazu in einem schlechten Verhältnis

Very nice expression out of MG. The cognac cask did some good work here enhancing the MG profile with some additional fruits on the nose and palate. Feels way more mature compared to its young age. While I like this very much, pricing is a bit high.
