Plums and spice on the nose, on palate wood and cocoa, rather pleasant surprise considering lot of people consider this to be dry, but it also has unique flavorful.

This Rum is just as Rum should be. Not too sweet, lots of aromas, long lasting. For 30€ the best I got so far.

I am a fan of Mount Gay and that just keeps it going for me. I like the regular mount gay a lit and with the XO it just makes me want more from Mount Gay. I know next time I'm in Barbados I have to go on the distillery tour.

Real enjoyed this bottle. It's dark but not thick. Lots of flavor that comes across every drink. Absolutely worth the cost.

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 rum gives a nice bite, the swallow is very soft. Good balanced rum

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.
