Not my favorite but it’s a nice sipper if you’re looking for a rum without much (any?) added sweetness. Needs a little time in the glass to mellow but pretty enjoyable thereafter.

Are corpolenta, gust bogat si rafinat. Caracteristica de baza sunt aromele care raman in paladin. Putin cam scump dar merita incercat.

Tried it this afternoon. I expected more syrupy from an old rum. It's a little antiseptic under the nose, and a little harsh in the throat, but there's a nice short textured finish. I wouldn't rank it up there, because I didn't experience a strong personality, but it comes in classy glass bottle nips. So if you're flying or in a hotel room, go for this one!

I would like to give this an 8 but for $40 a bottle there are other rums I enjoy more.

neat it was a little rough but adding only a few drops of water really improved the flavor and aroma. This is a very nice rum, not too sweet like many today.

Very smooth soft taste, very nice well balanced aftertaste as well

Rigtig fin rom, lidt skarpere i smagen end mange af de helt søde. Smagen holder desværre ikke helt længe nok til at komme længere op på skalaen

Rigtig fin rom, som er god og tør. Den mangler lidt på eftersmagen, men den er rigtig god

Smooth, rich- lovely flavour. Consistent and a good mixer.

I was expecting to enjoy this rum more than I did. As less sweet rums go I much preferred Pusser's 15 year

Mount gay rums are always great. The XO has a very smooth taste.
