Too young.
To me, this wasn't a big step up from Eclipse. It seemed favor young rum with the barrel char added to make it more interesting. I would speak Havana Club 7 and El Dorado 12 offer more flavour, depth and interest. Wanted to like it but couldn't suggest it.

I never really gave the category much thought, instead focusing on bourbon and rye as my go-to companions. But the more that I&#;ve investigated this Caribbean phenomenon this summer and noun, the more I&#;ve liked it. So now I&#;m working my way through some of the more popular labels, and the Mount Gay Black Barrel is near the top of that list.
