Doftar vanilj, ek och mild sprit. Inte alls söt men inte heller helt torr. Lite lätt funky fruktsmak av banan och ananas.

Good but not great. Had a good vanilla smell but the taste was too sharp.

Wow, this is one of the best. A lot of flavour and nicely smooth. Not to sweet.
Go for it!

A great rum with balanced notes of cigar and vanilla. Oak is present but well balanced. Long pleasant aftertaste that is just addictive!
Drink pure or as suggested on Mount Gay’s website with an coconut water ice cube. Perfect!

MGXO has a super nice balance of dry, smokey, sweet, and oaky barrel flavor. There are hints of marshmallow vanilla along with chocolate, leather, and oak. Some subtle dried cherries and molasses flavor as well. I'm a bourbon fan which may be why I like this so much. There is a noticeable complexity of flavors it has besides just sweetness. There is a wonderful dry element to this one and I prefer it on the rocks at 43% alcohol. Extremely happy with this and will definitely be buying again. Update: coming back to this was difficult at first, I have tried so many "premium" sugary rums since and I couldn't appreciate it the way I used to. Over a few sessions of sipping at first it was just too hot and I could only taste the alcohol, then I added a little bit of water and time to the equation. After breathing and a dab of water I was able to recollect my initial love for this rum with its natural dry fruit/molasses sweetness and smooth finish. It's notably smoother on the finish than Doorly's 12 year and I can say that for sure now.
