Mount Gay Extra Old (often written "OX") is a blend of rums aged between 8 and 15 years in American bourbon barrels.
Mount Gay Distilleries is the oldest operating distillery in the Americas - producing rum in Barbados since 1703. It's original name was Mount Gilboa, and in 1801 renamed Mount Gay after the distillery's manager Sir John Gay Alleyne.

The most complex rum we've ever had. And the history of attitude was also complicated - from "My God, what did we buy? I won't go blind?" due to the aldehydes of freshly painted lacquer wood at the beginning, to a deep velvety honeyness and dryness of barrel aging after half a year from the bottle was opened.
Refined and strict, like a gentleman's suit, it takes time to develop and a special moment to appreciate.
A really nice pure rum! I have also tried it with the advised Coconut water ice cubes, but the coconut is then tanking over. Just drink it straight on the rocks.
RO: heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeei, din greseala am incurcat black barrel double cask cu XO ))
nu este o dferenta foarte mare intre acestea daaaaaaaaaaar acesta e mai bun ))
este superb , la fel ca celalalt nivelul de alcool e optim si chiar daca pt unii poate sa para mai aspru ( nu este un rom pentru iubitorii de rom dulce) , de fapt este rotund si imprastie optim aroma fara sa exagereze cu arsura .
spre deosebire de black barrel la acesta aromele se simt mai pronuntat, ceea ce ceream de la celalalt ) . in pincipal aromele de fructe se simt mai pronuntat , sunt fructe tropicale si mi se pare ca sunt un soi de semnatura pentru romurile din Barbados. M a dus cu gandul acest rom la Plantation xo dar fara sa aiba defectele aceluia, cel mai important fiind zaharul adaugat ceea ce face ca acest rom sa si pastreze calitatea si gustul pe o perioada lunga de timp, pe cand Plantation XO devine fad , dar si alcoolul mai ridicat joaca un rol in favoarea acestuia, un rom cu o calitate superioara chiar daca si pe acela l am notat cu 10 (ultima data cand m am intalnit cu acela nu mi a mai parut la fel de valoros dar mai trebue investigat).
pe langa acesta combinatie de arome fructate marca Barbados se mai simte si gust de vanillie, cacao, piele, zahar ars , si iz de tabac in postgust care este lung ..
un rom parfumat , un rom de barbados de inalta calitate.

EN: heeeeeeeeeeeeeeey, by mistake I confused black barrel double cask with XO))
there is not a big difference between these; yes this one is better))
it is superb, just like the other, the level of alcohol is optimal and even if for some it may seem harsher (it is not a rum for lovers of sweet rum), in fact it is round and spreads the aroma optimally without exaggerating the burn.
unlike black barrel, this one has more pronounced aromas, which is what I was asking for from the other one). mainly the fruit aromas feel more pronounced, they are tropical fruits and it seems to me that they are a signature variety for rums from Barbados. This rum made me think of Plantation xo, but without having the defects of that one, the most important being the added sugar, which makes this rum retain its quality and taste for a long time, while Plantation XO becomes bland, but the higher alcohol plays a role in its favor to, a rum with a superior quality even if I also rated that one with a 10 (the last time I met that one, it didn't seem as valuable to me, but it still needs to be investigated) .
besides this combination of fruity aromas brand Barbados, you can also feel the taste of vanilla, cocoa, leather, burnt sugar, and a trace of tobacco in the aftertaste which is long..
a perfumed rum, a high quality Barbadian rum.
Good XO rum from Mount gay. Not super smooth but really good and rummy flava.
Possibly the finest rum I've had at this price point. Gloriously smooth, brilliant on the nose, and excellent on the throat. Cant believe this is 7.8 rated, its far far beyond that
Bit sharp but tasty. Nice to drink with friends...of course
Very smooth. Sweet just enough to make you think it could be sweeter while at the same time appreciate that's not too sweet
A special rum at a very good price. Typical mount gay flavours but more pronounced
'ripe banana and toast, followed by vanilla, pastry and...'
"Mount Gay Extra Old rum review by The Ultimate Rum Guide"
It is spicy especially on the finish and a little bit short.
"The nose is very fruity. Raisin, prunes and currants with a little banana and some tropical fruits a little pineapple perhaps."

Was lucky enough to hit the Mount Gay distillery in Barbados... and drank this throughout the whole trip there. The best was hitting a Friday street fair and getting rum and coke from a vendor... a small bottle of XO, a plastic cup with an ice cube, and a can of coke. I ditched the coke.
