Mount Gay Extra Old (often written "OX") is a blend of rums aged between 8 and 15 years in American bourbon barrels.
Mount Gay Distilleries is the oldest operating distillery in the Americas - producing rum in Barbados since 1703. It's original name was Mount Gilboa, and in 1801 renamed Mount Gay after the distillery's manager Sir John Gay Alleyne.

I spent a few months working down in Barbados in 2019 and really liked the previous XO. However, I think Richard Seale once again outdid himself.
The triple cask really does provide a symphony of flavor, but not at all too sweet. If they announce they are discontinuing it, I would rent a storage unit and buy as much as I could. :-)

Solid if a bit less interesting than others at this price point. I had one of the older version as it seems to have rebranded in 2020/21. N: cinnamon clove caramel, nice, sweeter, more fruit after sitting. T/F: cinnamon and spice, lighter, longer and very sippable, sweet w/o added sugar. But unlike most on this site, I think I prefer the cheaper and much more aggressive / interesting black barrel.

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.
Аромат
Яркий, приятный, сахар демерара, растворитель, шоколад, лимонная цедра и лимонный сок, ванильный сахар, корица, немного эстеров и анис, никаких офф-нот.
Вкус
Горько-сладкий, но больше сладкий, жженый сахар Демерара, корица и жгучие пряности, бадьян, мебельный лак, растворитель, ваниль, кокос.
Сладость 6,5 из 10
Послевкусие
Горькое, ромовые эстеры, корица, пряности, ваниль, дубовые танины, бадьян.
Итого
Отменный базовый ром, который придётся по вкусу всем! Не сложный и понятный, абсолютно отсутствуют неприятные ноты, хорошо сбалансирован!

Good rum to elevate your cocktails, high alcoholic after taste, good balance and representation of an aged rum.

Der wahre Geschmack von Rum findest Du in dieser Flasche !
Schön bernsteinfarbig im Glas.
In der Nase zarte Düfte von reifen Früchten, Vanille und Holznuancen.
Im Gaumen recht kräftig mit 43% Vol. aber dennoch nicht scharf sondern weich und süffig.
Früchte, Vanille, dunkle Schokolade....... welch ein Erlebnis ! Nicht süss aber so lecker !
Diese Aromen bleiben lang im Abgang erhalten.
Ein nahezu perfekter Rum !
You can find the true taste of rum in this bottle!
Beautifully amber colored in the glass.
In the nose delicate scents of ripe fruit, vanilla and wood nuances.
In the palate quite strong with 43% vol. But not sharp, but soft and tasty.
Fruits, vanilla, dark chocolate ....... what an experience! Not sweet but so delicious!
These aromas are preserved long in the finish.
A nearly perfect rum!
