    "The Madeira barrel and higher alcohol content give the rum a nice boost of complexity. Reminds by the coconut and toasty Kako associations of a very good Foursquare. Column still quite dominant, nevertheless great rum!"

    "Probably together with the Port cask Expression the best I have ever drunk from Mount Gay. Incredibly complex, intense and funky. Madeira influence harmonizes perfectly with the rum and makes really fun!"

    "Crass rum, infinitely round. Honey, fruit, wood, wine, chocolate and spices blend perfectly. Mild and delicious in the mouth, the flavors of the nose continue to pull through. Compared to the Port Cask Expression, this rum is a bit more approachable and easier to drink, but that doesn't make it better or worse now. I think both are brilliant. Unfortunately, the price is set quite high."

    "I quite like this Mount Gay, quite round and sweet, which I guess is the Madeira influence. Its very drinkable and dissapears quickly! Honey, caramel, Vanilla, spice, dried fruits and wood in the background. Quite a lot to like for this one. You can't question the quality from Mount gay, it's just that they are all quite similar, this one stands out to me. Short to medium finish."
