Mount Gay XO Extra Old

What can I say, this is not Real navy Rum, but, you will love this. aroma,taste,smell,easy.

This is real rum. Nice and dry with loads of flavour. Excellent as a sipper. Excellent as a base for old fashioneds.

Go buy it now. Support real distillers that dont add things after distillation.

good stuff, balanced so well, sugar is a bit taste, and you feel its natural, totally toned, nice fruit catch, ice sip

One of my favourite runs, not overly sweet with a nice smooth taste

Barbadian rums can perform and this one can hold its own with most

I Like it. It's Strong, but Also very mild. Not very sweet, but Just about enough. For me this is a good rum to compare other rums to. I'm personally a bigger fan of sweeter rums. But this one is a very good rum!

Better than the average. Something missing to gain a "9". The smoked taste maybe confused me. I will try it again and i will rate one more time

First of all - I like sweet rums. Not Diplomatico sweet, but let's say I like them when they are a bit sweetened. This rum, when actually not sweetened, really surprised me though...

Mount Gay Black Barrel was a bit underwhelming for me. Pretty bland and not memorable. And so on one side, I was sceptical when reaching for the XO, on the other I was looking forward to it. When I poured the first glass of this rum, I was struck by the smell of alcohol and a combination of some wood and little bit of fruits. The taste was good, but actually not that great. Well good for me I poured some more! The second and third glass were surprisingly sweet for a non-sweetened rum. The alcohol harshness faded away and I was left with a nice, decently sweet rum with just the right ammount of complexity. TIP: Let the rum sit for a while after pouring. Let it "open" and the smell and taste of alcohol will go away.

Like I said, I like sweet rums and this is not actually a "sweet" rum, since there shouldn't be any sugar added. But when you let the rum sit for a while, you'll get a nice quality product worth a buy. Miles better than the Black Barrel. This rum won't be my "go to" rum, but when I get tired of all the sugar in the other rums, I will pour some of this.

Ok, it’s still not cheap but such a good rum, full flavoured and free of additives. Next step up is the Four Square Sixty Six rum.
