This is a great starting place for someone looking at trying more expensive rums . Produced by mount gay I would never expect less then a clean rum that has lovely notes of caramel , suger and bannana.

The first "Dry" finish on a rum that I have found. a Solid rum that is very smooth and nice for sipping. Nothing spectacular but definitely different in a nice way from the rums that I have tried.

When I drink this rum I feel like I am drinking something very good in the classic sense. The lack of added sugar gives it a natural sweetness and a very pleasant rich aroma. For me, as in many other reviews, it is a benchmark for other rums. It presents a high level. Any rum that is better than this certainly deserves attention.

I’m not a huge fan of Mount Gay but the XO is a great sipping rum for those looking for a smooth and reasonably priced XO.

It has been while so I don't have a pic, but I did research here and pick this one after Brugal 1888, which was lovely rum as well, this was also dry but smooth and sweet on tongue. Well balanced and last long. If you like dry but smooth rum this is good choice.

Very nice barrel-taste rum with a very long-lasting aftertaste. You feel a slight burn but one that is not overpowering or annoying. Slightly better than Doorly's 12. Could give it a 9 and may still change my mind. A benchmark in its category and a go to for sure.

Great choice after a challenging but also a successful day. A pampering taste of salted caramel, which unfolds with cloves and softens with chocolate.

This rum is aromatic and has stronger smoke taste.

El Mount Gay XO es un Ron con todas las letras, una mezcla de ron de columna y de alambique de retorta. Color cobrizo brillante. En nariz es algo punzante, destacan notas a cognac de la barrica, fruta tropical sobre todo piña madura y caramelo. En boca se nota la potencia alcoholica pero sin llegar a ser molesto, estan muy bien integrados los 43°. Es untuoso, continúan los matices que tenía en nariz, cognac y mucha barrica. Seco y astringente, invita a seguir bebiendo aunque tiene un sabor persistente. En definitiva, un buen ron para disfrutar a pequeños tragos.
