I really enjoyed this bottle which I got for around €64 on Amazon great colour to it good flavours and a delicious aroma. Not quite up there with other XO's such as the Zacapa XO but at the price its very affordable.

Notes of creme brulee, molasses, spiced oak, caramel, maybe some sherry. Has a bite at 43% ABV but it becomes smoother after letting it breath for 30 minutes or adding an ice cube.

Love the XO Extra old Reserve Cask Rum by Allan Smith
This product brought more people to Mount Gay Brand Due to the Honesty of the Product a super Rum for a great price. £28 UK Then Ask yourself what on earth were they Mount Gay thinking They the Marketing department Double the price £59 UK Now Same 43% The new product is fine ! But it's not twice as Good by any means and this has Put me right off the Brand as they are treating us a fools . Bring the old one back and charge Us £30 and we will return and buy . I can buy 6 rum's off the Island in the UK for £30 and under that beat the New mount Gay XO hands down for half the price !!
I own a bottles and only rate what I have bought

Nice warm oaky flavour but bit too sharp and alcohol bit too present

Mount Gay's XO is an excellent and easy sipper. I appreciate that it has a straightforward flavor that is extremely approachable and has a nice lingering finish.

This rum has a bit of a whiskey taste to it. If you like whiskey and want to get into rum this could be the pick for you. Not for me though.

From the colour you would think about a dry high quality spirit and by taste you would not be dissappointed. Firstly its quite a strong one maybe because of the 43%. Smell: dried fruits and banking spicies.Taste: tones of coconut and wood. Perfect for experienced rum lover.

Mount Gay Extra Old rum has a rich amber color with a reddish tint. The aroma is quite strong and expressive, with notes of banana, ripe apple, cinnamon, vanilla, pepper, orange peel, caramel. The taste is bright, not too soft and even somewhat scalding (although I would not call it coarse), slightly sweet, with notes of spices and dried fruits.

The finish is long lasting, with notes of vanilla / oak. Overall, a good, very interesting rum.
