Mount Gay Black Barrel Rum Review
Rich notes of caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak greet the first sip of this lively rum. Aged in heavily charred bourbon barrels, American whiskey enthusiasts in particular will find this rum especially alluring. Beyond the decadence of its aromas, Mount Gay Black Barrel remains fruity and bold in taste and delivers a deeply toasty finish.
