Oh my, over a year since I reviewed this. I was excited when I found it at a big liquor warehouse. But it was a different bottle and different experience. Sill a very good rum. But not as I reviewed in 2015. Until now I hadn't realized the bottle that showed up in my cabinet was not what I'd had. I'll post both. I'm still not sure what the difference is? Both are 20th anniversary edition. Both are XO but no specific age. Both are Barbados rum. The rum I
Prefer and gave a 9 to is the shorter, squater bottle without the string/rope mesh around the bottle.

The bottle with the mesh is slightly less sweet. It is darker, than the honey gold of the shorter bottle. It doesn't have as much complexity. It's still a decent sipper but falls short of great.

Here's my original review. It is for the shorter, squater, empty:-( bottle on the left.
This is a very complex rum. It's not overly sweet and through the aging process used it does share some characteristics of Cognac. There is a fair amount of oak for a rum. Vanilla, caramel and I think I'm picking up coconut and even chocolate. There's no burn and a long finish. If you're going to spend the money know your rums or you won't appreciate this as much as it deserves!

easy to drink, taste and smell very delicious, sweet and fruity, must have rum, will buy again and again and again!

The first taste was surprise for me. Stronger than expected, still in my hall of fame.

Sweet scent, sweet taste but not too sweet for me. I can clearly taste vanilla but its not overwhelming. The whole rum is very well balanced and smooth. If you like sweet rums this is one of the best sipping rums out there.

What a great, straight rum. Light and little sweet, as I prefer it. Great taste.

This is one of my favorites, it's a good price and it's just amazing. For summer days, for winter nights it just tastes great whenever you drink it.. I am truly a fan of this one! Please don't mix this one, it needs to be enjoyed on its own with 2 cubes of ice..

Rhum sucré et fruité un must have.excellent rapport qualité prix avec ce XO

Read some reviews and am amazed to read things like "oddball" and "not completely smooth" and can only say that after 4 bottles it is still a perfect 10, smooth, awsome nose and complex taste finishing of very but very smoothly

Men den smager jo overhovedet ikke grimt, jeg tror bare jeg havde forventet mere. Mere sød end andre fra plantation. Megen sødme, vanille og kokos i duft og smag.
