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 piΓ±a madura y caramelo. En boca se nota la potencia alcoholica pero sin llegar a ser molesto, estan muy bien integrados los 43Β°. Es untuoso, continΓΊan los matices que tenΓ­a 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 pequeΓ±os tragos.

Nice rum for sipping, not sweet. Interesting stuf. Need to try other bottles from this brand.

I love Barbados rum more than any other, and this takes the crown..... From the cask flavours to the fruits, to the chocolate. The nose is instantly recognisable and just makes me smile

Barbados. 8-15 years in bourbon barrels. This is what I want in a rum. Noticeable but not overpowering sweetness. Bourbon notes are clear - flavors more toffee/caramel than banana/coconut. Looking forward to trying 1703.

If you enjoy Mount Gay, you'll love this rum.

Sweet but without being sickly. Normally with good rums I'd say don't mix, but for this a Dark'N'Stormy is the way to go.

Rum how it’s done. A livener as my dear departed Gran would say. Can’t think of anything better to drown my sorrows on or lift me up!
