There’s no age statement on the Mount Gay Black Barrel, but s proof is lower at 86, and s lor is much darker than the Eclipse Black.

Mount Gay Black Barrel Rum (86 proof / 43% abv, $30) is ep amber lor, and the impact of the heavily charred bourbon barrel uldn’t be much clearer s lor.

This strong oak spice pretty much f the Mount Gay Black Barrel Rum experience, and how well you like this m will be greatly pennt on how much you like oak.
