Mount Gay Master Blender Collection Pot Still Rum 2009
"Not every rum needs to be a cask-strength bruiser," as one member put it — and that's this Mount Gay pot still. Smoke, leather and solvent up front, with vanilla, toffee and yellow fruit underneath. Full-bodied for the house, dry, with an odd medicinal/metallic streak that divides the room. A few wish it landed at 55%+ for more punch, and the finish runs short.

Aggregated from 39 community reviews.
Smoky, dry Mount Gay pot still with a short finish A characterful, well-balanced pot still most owners enjoy — smoky and complex. The catch: the finish is short and the metallic edge won't be for everyone.

Review by Tim
Completely contrary to expectations - very round nose with lots of fruit, honey, toffee and herbal notes. The whole is complemented by some chocolate and vanilla. A little smokier in the mouth, now with a lot of almond influence, but always herbal and fruity. The finish is also wonderful, delivering more chocolate in places, but also strong menthol and smoke. The 48% is within reason and offers intense aromas. Compared to the Andean Oak, the nose is a little weaker, but the mouth experience is better.

Nez excellent soir l'épice, vanille ambiance Club, parquet Bouche attaque puissante un peu tannique épices poivre noir alcool mal intégré ou besoin de plus d'aération. Décalage entre la bouche et le nez
Review by Portman
Für einen MG ausgesprochen vollmundig, fast schwer auf der Zunge, aber in einem sehr positiven Sinne. Eine schöne, fast "scotchige" Holz-Salz-Torf-Note mit gerade ausreichender Süße und hintergründiger, schwacher Frichtigkeit. Außergewöhnlich und richtig gut.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Very very strange distillate.... Yellow fruits, charcoal and slightly sour... I don't have to have it again... I wouldn't have expected this from mount gay. Overall disappointing for me, sorry.
Review by Basti
An der Nase sehr medizinisch/metallisch, gelbe Früchte, etwas Honig, Gewürze, Holz, Diesel/Benzin und Karamell. Am Gaumen finden sich die Aromen wieder. Holt mich nicht so ganz ab, da mir diese metallischen/medizinischen Noten zu dominant sind.
Review by Aussierumfan
A nice rum from Mount gay, alcahol well integrated, for me a nice easy drinking strength. I am getting fruits, mention and a certain level of smokiness. Not every rum needs to be a cask strength bruiser! Quite a short finish.
Review by Tschusikowsky
A good rum, the bottle was fun to drink. Special flavor profile. The full body is good. It has a tingling acidity on the tongue, like a battery. I also like the cherry notes.
Review by David Sharman
Strangely at 48% it feels too light. Like a very watered down version of Chairmans Reserve Vendome still. Still good, but I think an ABV of 55% would have significantly lifted it.
Review by alex
It is good, it is round, but not transcendent either. Quite short for the length in mouth, I am not more excited than that.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
A nice full bodied rum with a nice % giving it a nice balance. Very nice indeed.
