It is setting the standard for a Bajan pot still rum for me.

Hozzáadott cukrot nem tartalmazó csodaszép barbadosi rum...ízében gyümölcsös, tölgyes ízek dominálnak,de a háttérben befigyel a banán, talán még a vanilia, nem egy édes rum mint már irtam ,ráadásul picit ( 43 /alk ) erősebb mint a nagy átlag. Lecsengése sima , kényeztető és rendkívül hosszú. Ahogy írták pár helyen :" a Mount Gay XO egyetlen gyűjteményből sem hiányozhat " :))

Refined yet bites a bit. Used it in the Blood and Sand recipe.
Great alternate to have some fun in switching and comparing

I will start this review by saying that I do have a sweet tooth and I am also not a big fan of scotch (a comparison to which a lot of the other reviews make).

Mount Gay XO is deep in colour and strong in flavour. I find it to be fairly spicy, with caramelised fruit and a woody / oaky flavour to it.

For me it is a little harsh and I find the taste of alcohol a bit too much. As a consequence I have been drinking it with ice in and don't really enjoy it without.

Once finished, I will be in no rush to go out and replace the bottle I presently have on the go as there are other rums that I much prefer but despite this I have given it a 7. After all, it is by no means a supermarket bottle that's only good for mixing and for some, with less of a sweet tooth that me, is clearly a trusty favourite.

Een fles waar ik heel benieuwd naar was! Veel goeds gehoord, dus hoge verwachtingen! De kleur is mooi diepbruin en geurt heerlijk 'caramellig', bij de pure nip is het begin best nijdig maar gaandeweg versoepelt de smaak naar een complexe zoete mix van kruiden. Een cola erbij brengt de caramel nog meer naar boven en ook de kruidige, houtachtige nasmaken blijven... lekker, maar niet helemaal naar verwachting.

It burns like nothing I have tasted before - instantly. I must admit thought most of the stuff I sampled was in the higher price range. It is anything but smooth. And I was left under the impression that XO does exactly that: create a smoothness and character. But also on the character front there is nothing to write home about.
All in all it tastes almost like a whiskey.
If you want to say anything positive about it: I guess this is the one product with the least amount of sugar in it.

Has a stronger finish than others I have tried. The slight Moca flavor adds to it enjoyment
