Mount Gay XO Extra Old

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.

Realy good taste. You should try it. Don't suit everyone but I like it.

Well its a special one. Because it stood in a cognac barrel for several months it has that special cognac taste. In the nose it is spicey and dry. On the tongue some dark chocolat. You have to drink it with a good cigar :)

This rum have been described by many as the perfect start for a newbies journey into rum. I have never tried it before, but wanted to see if this statement rings true.

Nose: Orange, prunes, oak, chocolate and vanilla
Taste: Sugar cane, honey, oak, molasses and a small hint of ripe banana hiding in the back
Overall: I must admit that the statement rings true, that this is a great rum for people, who want to begin their rum journey. Especially people who come from other spirits will find pleasure in this one as it is not overly sweet. However if you are completely new to spirits it might be a little harsh and bottles like Plantation XO and Zacapa 23 might be more up your alley, but none the less a great starter rum.

Næse af vanilje og lidt krydderi, dog lidt sprittet, hvis man stikker næsen for langt frem. Man aner lidt sødme til at starte med, men hurtigt bliver overtaget af egetræ og varme. Kan blive lidt voldsom, men en form for utæmmet sødme sidder i baggrunden skaber lidt balance. Ikke så slem som forventet, men desværre heller ikke god nok til barskabet. (1. December 2019 i 1423)

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.

This is an incredibly dry rum that would be the perfect choice for whisky drinkers trying out rum for the first time. I like this one but i don't find it incredibly interesting. It does make a nice change from all the super sweet rums though.

J'ai mis une note de 7.5, mais c'est à cause que je le prend avec du cola au du perrier. Bon rhum qui a un gout de bois du baril.
