I truly enjoy this rum. And for the price it might be the best out there ($50.00 Canadian). If you have not tried it and you are reading this review, put your phone down and head to your local liquor store or bottle shop and pick up what may be the best drink you have had in quite some time.

Dry, better than Doorly's 5. Feels long stay in the barrel. For the same money, I definitely prefer 2 bottles of MG Eclipse.

Very good. This one is not overly sweet and would be perfect for someone who is predominantly a drinker of whiskeys and scotch. I tried it neat and was very impressed. Would definitely recommend.

Wasn't too impressed on first tastings. But after the 3rd attempt I love it. So glad I persevered with this rum. Not too harsh and lots of flavour that stays in your mouth wanting more.

Smooth, flavoursome, a very grown up rum. Actually what XO should mean.

Hyvää rommia. Joskin itse tykkään Plantation tyyppisistä makeista enemmän. Tämä on kuitenkin rähän mennessä parasta laatuaan.

A fabulous rum from Barbados. Very smooth and doesn't need any mixers. High quality but a little sweet.

A tad astringent initially but quite complex when given time to breathe. Praised for being a true rum without any added sugar or flavourings.
Geschmacksbombe! Weich, nicht süß, sehr aromatisch.

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.
