  • While the flavor profile doesn’t exactly break new ground here, this is as pure an expression of Barbados as you’ll ever find.

  • Nose:

    Big and bold on the nose, lovely combination of dessert, baking spice, toffee and a hint of tropical fruit, mango and banana.

  • Taste:

    Rich on the palate, full of sweet mango and coconut shavings, honey, toffee and cracked pepper. Light oakiness, nicely balanced. Fun and rich, so rich.

  • Finish:

    Long finish, decadent and full of toffee, brown sugar, mango, coconut and tobacco.

  • Overall:

    This first release in the single estate series is a powerhouse and everything I love about Mount Gay, dialed way up.
