This rum is top notch. Neat only for me, no plans for mixing. Oak and other flavors up front and nice sweetness to even out the finish.

$50 price tag in my area, when I can find it. I also like the black barrel, but this is worth the extra $20.

Really enjoyed this one. Not overly sweet, but extremely smooth with a finish better than my Ron Zacapa. I think this is one of the most balanced rums I have tried.

This rum was very smooth and hints of oak. Was impressed with how balanced the sweet and dryness was with this rum. I enjoyed it glass after glass, and will always keep this gem in the collection.

Mount Gay XO shouldn't have surprised me as being a very decent rum. It did not disappoint, once I get another bottle it will sit on the top shelf in the rum room and be brought out when I want a smooth sipping rum;for me, best on the rocks but still good on its own. Enjoy!

Fruity on the nose with overripe banana and spice. A light fruity flavor with hints of dunder and a little warmth. A long finish with a spicy reminder left behind.

Good supermarket rum Β£30 more of a mixer than a sipper but nice nonetheless

Upon opening the bottle you are welcomed to some fruity sweetness when you smell the rum.
Upon tasting it you are welcomed to a very nice complex rum.
Compared to other rums I was missing something, perhaps the added sugar ;-)?
Overall this is a very nice balanced sipper which is well worth the price.
