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.

This is quite a dry, strong rum. A nice amount of burn, and there's quite some oak and spices in the flavours. Also some distant sweetness... Perfect for those moments when you "need a drink".

Well its a special one. Because it stood in a cognac barrel for several months it has that special cognac taste. In the nose it is spicey and dry. On the tongue some dark chocolat. You have to drink it with a good cigar :)

Huge Woody profile for this copper dark rum, lots of bitter chocolate, some vainilla, bit strong alcohol in the nose and some coffee as well, bit dry fruits on the taste.

The same you smell, same you taste!

Good body very dense, medium finish/end

I think it is a traditional XO rum, not sweet and probably very good for old fashion.

This is a great starting place for someone looking at trying more expensive rums . Produced by mount gay I would never expect less then a clean rum that has lovely notes of caramel , suger and bannana.

This rum has a dark golden colour with a medium strong (alcohol) smell. The flavour is dry and strong... A nicely aged sipper.
