“We tasted four Mount Gay 2000 releases at the Rum-X Community Tasting. The tasting was very entertaining, but the rums only contributed a small part. Overall, the rums were super similar, with the differences being in the nuances. Personally, I don't like the profile as much, as it simply lacks fruit. In the mouth, I find them better across the board than in the nose.The Mercenary rum is the sweetest of the round, with a grain note reminiscent of bourbon. The fruit on the nose is reminiscent of ripe banana, along with tobacco, tea and vanilla with lightly charred caramel. The mouth is intense and creamy with a nice sweetness. It's super smooth, but unfortunately not particularly complex.”

“In der Nase der floralste der drei von mir verkosteten 2000er Mount Gays, hat schon leichte Anklänge von Agricole. Im Mund im Vergleich zu den anderen angenehm ausbalanciert, hier überlagern die holzig-würzigen Noten nicht den Rest. Im Abgang eine schöne Note von süßem Espresso. Insgesamt sind die 2000er Mount Gays nichts so meins, der hier gefällt mir aber definitiv am besten von den drei probierten.”

“Out of a small cross tasting: Rum Mercenary is the most lifely with some floral notes while the other three have a more similar profile. Rum Cask is very well balanced an approchable. RumClub feels the most intense with some funky notes. The Duchess is the most elegant out of the bunch and my personal winner.”
