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.

With a good cigar and a warm evening. We grill fish then sit back and enjoy MGXO on the rocks with a good cigar.

Tasted with a dear rum-drinking friend of mine. Due to the reviews I would never have bought one since it would be more for whiskey lovers. It is a really well balanced rum with a nice alcohol-bite. Then comes a little sweetness wich lingers on for a while. Will certainly go out and buy one.

This was enjoyable but I preferred the mount gay eclipse more even though it's not as "premium" asXO

This rum is very good. Not too sweet and there's no need for any rocks in it.

Realy good taste. You should try it. Don't suit everyone but I like it.

I was expecting more, honestly. Still a little harsh to drink, and just not that complex.

Lot of different flavors. Needs onr ice cube to smooth it little.

rum velmi silny az typicky klasicky :) vyrazna chut ale nikoliv alkoholova. prijemne aromaticky, chutny a predpokladam i dobre pitelny. ve vetsine ohledu dobry kompromis smerujici k dokonalosti rumu.

Being a rather proud "straight" person the name is a bit of an obstacle to overcome. The rum as a whole is pretty tasty, can be enjoyed either on the rocks or neat. Pretty decent libation overall. There is a decent level of wood, a touch of whiskey and not an ounce of sweetness. From start to finish this rum is very good and something to have on your shelf.
