it s a honest non sweetened rum, good neat or in a rum old fashioned !
let sit 10 minutes in the glass to lower the burn at nose, dry, complex nose (a lot of fruits, oak, brown sugar),
in the mouth is dry, warm but 43% ABV is ok, not too much,
it s a rum for whisky drinkers (me too), better than many 10-12 years old single malts i ve tried !
En nariz se nota la madera en boca no quema y se nota más los taninos del tiempo en barrica y no empalaga de azúcares pero está ese tono dulce del ron que ha pasado reposando en la barrica al darle un 7 es poco y debía estar bastante más cerca del 8 es un ron de los que me atraen pero el balance de precio, casi 40€, me hace preferir otros .....no es mal ron pero me parece caro, como siempre nunca lo mezclaría.

Good rum to elevate your cocktails, high alcoholic after taste, good balance and representation of an aged rum.
Mount Gay XO Extra Old - mám doma už celkem dlouho. Zatím mi moc nesedí
Vor längerer Zeit bei meinem Vater getrunken, der hatte die Flasche aus dem Urlaub vor Ort mitgebracht, leider damals nur mit Cola getrunken, war aber lecker.
Note: I'm a sipper. My opinion is based on sipping characteristics.
This was the first rum I bought when I came out as rum aficionado and bloodthirsty pirate. And thank God I got it, instead of the Pyrat, as that really made a difference to my experience thereafter. At the time, I somehow managed to obtain it for the equivalent of 19€, which was probably a result of some miscalculation or something. Or it might have been an old stock or whatever but an year later when I decided to get another bottle, it was already going for 40+€ which with all the superlatives I can say, to me personally is not justified. Hence I'm gonna rate it at 7, instead of 8, which it otherwise deserves.
DO no like XO label on rum, but this one is worth the name. Nice woody, molasse taste, not too sweet and complex aftertaste. Good for sipping, almost shame to use in drinks.

"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."

Quite lovely, just somewhat lacking

This is a solid, unsweetened sipping rum (just my style). It boasts a lovely bouquet, and a moderately complex flavor profile. It gives me most of what I want in a rum, making it a good everyday sipper or aperitif rum.
My only complaint is that it doesn't bring enough to the table. I'm not quite sure what it needs—more pot-still? more aging? Probably. But the main thing that would benefit this rum in my opinion is less dilution. Mount Gay was on the right track upping the ABV from 40% to 43% for this and their Black Barrel releases, but it's not quite enough. With slightly less dilution, I think Mt. Gay would have hit it out of the park (this is the first such rum I've tried where I've strongly felt this way); as it is, it's just not terribly exciting, and there's little to entice me back rather than try something new.
I'd be interested in their limited cask-strength releases, but they're far too rich for my blood. I think even this XO could also stand to be a few dollars cheaper, but that's just me.
