Stop! You're killing me...HA HAH ah (hack!) HAH!
That was for those rating this under a 7. This is a real rum. I suspect a tiny morsel of added sugars due to the "smoothness" - a dead give away for tossing sugar cubes into the batch for any rum less than 15 years old - but this an authentic rum, non-Western diabetic marketing concoction bordering on cough syrup.
Tasting notes are not needed. It's a better rum than Abuelo Centuria. MGXO has an almost perfect balance between of dry & sweet, wood and salivation, aged too long and not long enough. If you don't like this, head for the Zaya aisle. If you do, come on over and have a glass you discriminating, sophisticated, demanding drinker, you.
Rum crafting excellence.
Wow, this is just a perfect rum. It's impossibly smooth, naturally sweet, full of molasses and toffee, some oak, and a whole lot of perfection. Compare this miraculous rum with Plantation XO (also from Barbados), which has more added sugar than children's juice boxes. You can spend much more for rums which are as good as - but not better - than this one. Straight up, right?
Mount Gay is a quality product to the world of rum. Mount Gay serves a great bridge point to all drinkers. It is not sweet enough to scare away those who prefer earthy/dry spirits (scotch drinkers). It also is not dry/earthy enough to scare away a sweeter preferring drinker. It is the best balance of sweet and dry rum I might ever have. It's characters of the bourbon barrel are very distinguished and give this rum 90% of its characters. The issue with mount gay is the ingredients do not stand out as much as they should. The rum straight is pretty simple in this regard with a little harshness in the back. This is best served with a light amount of cola or ice to get rid of the slight harshness. Mount gay is a great addition to the collection if it is a decision between this or zacapa 23 (2 commonly available top shelves) take this. A perfect analogy of this rum is the good but not best looking girl in the class who happens to be relatively smart and sweet. Is she the knockout with the bold fiesty personality. No, she just prefers to let her quality characteristics sell herself. If mount gay ever got brave and added more boldness to the rum (larger amounts of ingredients per batch ) we could be looking at a perfect rum.
Just tried Mount Gay XO for the first time. As someone who has never tried rum that costs more than $30 per bottle, you'd rightly expect I am incredibly impressed. Mount Gay XO has a lovely cinnamony woody aroma, and a nice full flavor in my mouth place. The swallowing action was pleasing to the throat, with a nice warmth. Nothing like that horrible tasteless burn from cheaper rums. I trust I will gain an even higher appreciation for this rum after sampling more rums of similar quality. For now, it's a solid 10 until I try something better. I enjoyed this drink neat with some chocolates
Almost perfect on most levels, great neat or with single ice cube
molasses. dry.
i smell some dark fruits. pepper, ginger, barbados!
i taste fruit and tons of spice. pepper. ginger. some hints of vanilla and chocolate.
10/10 - drop 5 from this score if you love sweet rum.
full bodied powerhouse for a very really fair price. if one god exists and would ask me: take three rums with you to heaven, i think, one of them would be this!
Rum. Beautiful example of pot still Bajan rum
A lesson to most in rum making
I recommend this rum to all my whiskey/bourbon drinking friends. It's got enough oak and lingering burn to keep them happy, and I enjoy the surprised look on their faces as they realize how satisfying a good rum can be. Sweeter than a wheated bourbon, but not at the sacrifice of complexity. At $40 in my local ABC, it's a no-brainer.
Amazing rum with so much flavoure. How is the average only 7.7? Crazy. Its smooth, intese, easy sipping, sweet, and affordable. I lile this one alot
A very heavy and balanced mild rum. One of my favorites!
'ripe banana and toast, followed by vanilla, pastry and...'
"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."

Mount Gay XO is a classic. Periode
8
/10
out of 10
Mount Gay is one of the oldest active distillers in the world. In Barbados, the blend is stored from molasses for 8-15 years and bottled without additives. The alcohol content is 43%. The Mount Gay XO Reserve Cask costs between 35 and 40 euros and that's just crazy. You don't get more rum for the money.
In the nose, the rum is harmonious. I mainly smell oak and vanilla. All very pleasant. Typical Barbados. In the mouth comes the natural vanillige sweetness of barrel. The alcohol is noticeable but overall mild and well integrated. Wooden notes and caramel accompany the finish, which lasts pleasantly long. The rum is mild and does not impose itself.
For me, you must have drunk Mount Gay. It shows the dry rum are working fine under 40 euros. The rum is mild and multifaceted. The bottle looks classy and the design is appealing and valuable. The closure is made of real wood and cork. There is not much competition in the price range. And for me it is one of the best beginner rums.
Mount Gay ist einer der ältesten noch aktiven Rum Destilliern der Welt. Auf Barbados wird der Blend aus Melasse 8-15 Jahre gelagert und ohne Zusatzstoffe abgefüllt. Der Alkohol Gehalt ist 43%. Der Mount Gay XO Reserve Cask kostet zwischen 35 und 40 Euro und das ist einfach krass. Mehr Rum bekommt man nicht für das Geld.
In der Nase ist der Rum harmonisch. Ich rieche vor allem Eiche und Vanille. Alles sehr angenehm. Typisch Barbados. Im Mund kommt anfangs die natürliche vanillige Süße vom Fass. Der Alkohol ist merkbar aber insgesamt mild und gut eingebunden. Holznoten und Karamel begleiten den Abgang der angenehm lang anhält. Der Rum ist mild und drängt sich nicht auf.
Für mich muss man den Mount Gay getrunken haben. Er zeigt das trockene Rums unter 40 Euro mithalten und funktionieren. Der Rum ist mild und Facettenreich. Die Flasche sieht edel aus und das Design ist ansprechend und wertig. Z.B. Verschluss aus echtem Holz und Korken. In dem Preisbereich gibt es kaum Konkurrenz. Und für mich einer der Einsteiger Rums.
