Mount Gay 1703

They are terrible! They do not pour well. They are awkward to handle and easily slip tout of hand when unpacking groceries or when in a bar. They are too tall for most bottle storage places in peoples' homes. They are absolutely impossible to store on a boat. What were you thinking???

A friend bought me this as a present as he knows I like my rum and must say it's probably best I've ever tasted a lot smoother than Ron Zacapa XO which I also have in my drinks cabinet which is around the same price.

Very nice, still kinda rough at the end, not worth the high cost to me.

Not much of a rum drinker but a friend bought me back a bottle from the states, I enjoyed it thoroughly and it was not until it was nearly all gone that I realised how expensive it was but believe me, it is worth it and I have since enjoyed 3 more bottles.

I tried this in Barbados at the end of the Mount gay visitor centre tour. You have to pay B$25.00 for a glass but it is well worth it. Alan the barman knows how to serve this and takes you through the notes. I agree with the other reviewers, this is as easy drinking as rum gets. A full deep flavour with a softness absent in most other rums. Incidentally in the MG shop it was selling for about B$200.00 currently the X rate is 3.1 to 1.

I had the pleasure of trying this at London Hilton Trader Vics bar in a Masterclass with Chesterfield Browne the International Brand Ambassador, the 1703 is so subtle and smooth it is comparable to an OX Cognac, I was in heaven ,

Got a bottle of this for Christmas, what a fantastic present! It's so smooth and deep and has a real rounded quality about it. It's by far the best I've ever tasted and will cry the day it's gone from my drinks cabinet!! I love Mount Gay.
