I almost rated this an 8 based on a sipping comparison with Flor de Cana 12 year. I liked it a bit more than the comparator, but they were close. The Mount Gay XO is less sweet (which I like) and more complex, with a long spicy finish and a great vanilla taste that pretty much lasts from beginning to end. The 43% alcohol content gives it a slightly sharper taste, in my view, which I think is a plus. I decided to rate it a 9 after I tried it with cola... AMAZING!!! Simply the best rum for cola that I've found so far. That long vanilla, spicy finish and less sweetness makes this a great rum to have on hand... either for sipping or mixing.
On the technical side, I wish rum makers would clearly age their products like Scotch whisky. On the box, this XO claims to be a blend of rums from seven to fifteen years maturity, but who knows how much of which? Maybe it doesn't matter as the proof is in the taste, but there's a bit of false advertising here, which annoys me.
Anyway, enjoy this nice Mount Gay rum... one of their best, I think.
It is setting the standard for a Bajan pot still rum for me.
I think this would be a good addition to a home bar for quality mixers or just a standard sipper. I can't recommend it for special occasions as one you blow the dust off of but cannot deny its quality.
Heel lekkere, zachte rum. Zeker een aanrader. Ideaal bij de koffie na het eten.
This rum has an amber color. The nose reminds me of vanilla and bananas. Short legs on the glass. Woodsy flavor with a medium finish and mild afterburn. This was a Christmas present and I am glad I got it. Very god sipping rum.
Smokey with cinamon, i received it as a gift thinking nothing of it. But it soon made my sipping rum list.
Excellente qualité, ça commence avec un gout de caramel et se poursuit longtemps par un mélange de saveur complexe chêne,vanille et noix. J'envisage déjà acheter ma 4 ieme bouteille.
Ich hatte vergangenes Jahr zum Abschluss eines phantastischen 5-Gang Menues einen Rum von Mount Gay - damals ein absoluter Gaumenschmaus. Am nächsten Tag ab ins Internet und umgehend den XO bestellt. Rum kam ein paar Tage spätet an nd ich hab mir mit grosser Vorfreude ein Gläschen eingegossen - und war zu tiefst enttäuscht. Der Rum ist weiss Gott nicht schlecht, aber die Offenbarung blieb leider aus. Für meinen Geschmack ein wenig zu alkoholisch im Geschmack und etwas zu wenig Süsse. Muss wohl noch die Brüder vom XO testen.
This is my first time trying Mount Gay. This is a nice rum for sipping.
Perfect sipping rum to keep in the cabinet. This is my standard go to bottle. Excellent.

"Mount Gay Extra Old rum review by The Ultimate Rum Guide"
It is spicy especially on the finish and a little bit short.
"The nose is very fruity. Raisin, prunes and currants with a little banana and some tropical fruits a little pineapple perhaps."

Another fine Bajan rum. More fruity and less okaed than Seales 10 yo, but not so fruity as to make me think of sherry. There is some banana in this I find absent in Seales, and there's mostly citrus in Doorly's XO. This is just about what I would consider the best for the price. If I want more banana I would have to go to Jamaica, and actually do. Still, this is a nice fine rum that can be enjoyed neat, with a cube, or mixed without feeling like you spent too much for a "mixer" rum. What I mean to say is even if you never enjoy this fine rum neat, you won't be worried. Sure, there are mixing rums that cost far less, but they won't have this rum's smell and taste profile. As for sipping neat or with ice, this is a budget everyday sipper; not the one that sits around oxidizing on the shelf for a decade cause you had to take a loan out to buy the bottle.
