Nice rum, distinct vanilla and caramel taste. Slightly bitter if I remember well. There is always something I can't recognize that can't me love this rum.

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.
