This is just a touch smoother than the Mount Gay Black Barrel. It's also heavier ( fuller ) taste wise. I gave the Black Barrel a 7. This one gets an 8. I like it with pineapple juice or orange juice.

Little bit heavier. Not the best idea to drink too much from it. But on the other very smooth rum . loved it

Tres bon rhum , tres doux, boisé , un peu fumée, fruité sans etre trop sucré.

MGXO is the best I had so far. It has rich nose, the palette is something I've never experienced with another rum. I adore how it's fruity but not sweet, it's subtle and smooth. It has almost everything I find appealing on rum.

A little pricey compared to many other of my favorites in the 8, 9, 10 ranges. But not the most expensive and reasonable enough to keep in your rotation. Yum.

En god rom fra Barbados, men ikke så dog som jeg havde troet af en XO.
Egentlige dejlig smag med noter af tobak og ??
God lang eftersmag, men ikke på højde med andre XO'er.

Great bottle, mediocre an unremarkable rum. Looks impressive, but the quality taste just isn't present.

Since writing my first review on this I have upgraded it 1 point because I have come to appreciate that this simple and uncomplicated rum is an actual delight to serve neat or as a mixer. Either way it is pleasant, tasty without trying too hard.

J'ai commandé cette bouteille sans vraiment en attendre beaucoup et j'ai été très agréablement surpris : c'est rudement bien fait étant donné le prix ! Alors il n'a pas une forte personnalité, il ne laisse pas un souvenir impérissable, il n'est pas hors du commun mais ce qu'il fait il le fait bien. Il est très bien équilibré avec un juste dosage de sucre, d'épice et de fruit. Il se boit aisément avec beaucoup de plaisir sans jamais être ennuyeux. Bref à ce tarif c'est un grand standard à découvrir et à faire découvrir. Je n'hésiterai pas à le recommander à ceux qui souhaitent s'essayer au rhum !
