How does Mount Gay S.B.S Barbados 2000 taste?

Aggregated from 40 community reviews.

Dry, woody, complex Mount Gay For experienced palates: a dry, oak‑driven 20‑year Mount Gay at 53.2%. RumX users get peaches, orange peel, vanilla, herbs and light tar over roasted wood and smoke. Best neat with time or a dash of water.

Perfect for

Slightly bitter wood notes meet a pleasantly sweet fruit mix. On the nose, I think a bit of Cointreau. For a better rating, the alcohol should not be so noticeable in the finish.

quite oak driven mid palate/finish with a decent characterful spirit carrying it. Might have thought old WPL blind. alcohol slightly too present throughout

I like this bottling better than the TRC... it is very woody and intense on the palate ! The nose is very fruity and fresh. It needs time in the glass, but then it is a pleasure

Honey golden; nice thick legs coming down on the glass Nose: mild glue/acetone, with a pinch of wood and yellow fruits in the background (apple and peaches possibly).As time goes by and the oxygen does its thing, I get more nutty flavors, as well as more prominent citrus fruits. Mouth: definitely more fruity, again with peaches and orange peels upfront…there are some spices coming along (vanilla from the barrel I guess, and maybe ginger). Finish: medium, with orange peels and dried fruits.

6.12.21 RumX Adventskalender: In der Nase hatte ich als erstes Marzipan, anschliessend eine ordentliche Portion Frucht. Im Gaumen sind die Früchte auch sehr präsent. Gepaart mit Tiefgang und ordentlich dreckigen Noten ein ganz guter Rum. Alkohol jedoch zu präsent. Blind war ich am ehesten bei einem Clarendon. Beim Abgang hatte ich einen kurzen Moment an den Guildive WIRD gedacht. War mein erster Mount Gay. Gerne wieder mal😁

RumX-Adventskalender, 08.12.2021, blind. Erster Eindruck: Ein Bisschen Klebstoff (Sorte Guyana/Barbados, nicht der aus Jamaika), aber auch sehr fruchtig. Vielleicht Jamaika? Mit mehr Zeit im Glas etwas Waldhonig und Minze, eher unpassend, doch ein anderes Land? Am Gaumen trocken, bitter-salzig, fast schon dumpf. Harzig-holzig mit etwas Menthol und Minze. Plötzlich auch etwas Dreck und Teer, dazu Bittermandel. Passt nicht zu Jamaika. Vielleicht Trinidad? Je länger er im Glas ist, um so mehr verwandelt er sich. Aufgrund der verschiedenen Richtungen hätte ich auf einen Blend getippt. War es dann doch nicht, umso größer die Überraschung.
