This is a great starting place for someone looking at trying more expensive rums . Produced by mount gay I would never expect less then a clean rum that has lovely notes of caramel , suger and bannana.
This rum has a dark golden colour with a medium strong (alcohol) smell. The flavour is dry and strong... A nicely aged sipper.
I had it on a long drink, cuba libre
Very smooth with a little taste of vanilla. I recommand !
Looking forward to try it straight up.
Really good colour and flavour with a good age coming through. Strong smooth alcoholic flavour, very drinkable.
Good stuff.... Nice amber color. Vanilla, molasses, orange. Smooth.
I almost rated this an 8 based on a sipping comparison with Flor de Cana 12 year. I liked it a bit more than the comparator, but they were close. The Mount Gay XO is less sweet (which I like) and more complex, with a long spicy finish and a great vanilla taste that pretty much lasts from beginning to end. The 43% alcohol content gives it a slightly sharper taste, in my view, which I think is a plus. I decided to rate it a 9 after I tried it with cola... AMAZING!!! Simply the best rum for cola that I've found so far. That long vanilla, spicy finish and less sweetness makes this a great rum to have on hand... either for sipping or mixing.
On the technical side, I wish rum makers would clearly age their products like Scotch whisky. On the box, this XO claims to be a blend of rums from seven to fifteen years maturity, but who knows how much of which? Maybe it doesn't matter as the proof is in the taste, but there's a bit of false advertising here, which annoys me.
Anyway, enjoy this nice Mount Gay rum... one of their best, I think.
It is setting the standard for a Bajan pot still rum for me.
I think this would be a good addition to a home bar for quality mixers or just a standard sipper. I can't recommend it for special occasions as one you blow the dust off of but cannot deny its quality.

"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."
