I drank it in a whisky glass so not great. The smell is not great and it smell like a cheap mixing rum. Once you drink it it reacts like a bourbon. long taste but not complex at All. Just the taste of caramel lasting. The Finish is the part I don't like. Very plain. Only the caramel/ honey traste but no complexity

Like to explore and drink rum and whiskey pure, no ice. Smell, taste are wonderfull but it is a bit harsh. If you like bourbon or whiskey, you will like this.

Nice taste, you can taste the different accents you want in a rum

Can't say too much bad stuff about this. Solid overall, not too harsh but you can certainly taste the char. I certainly taste some caramel, vanilla and a little bit of chocolate on this one, but it always ends with the char.

If bourbon is your choice of drink, this is your choice of rum. On the rocks for me

Un nez hyper intรฉressant qui invite tout de suite ร  la dรฉgustation mais un gout beaucoup plus lourd, l'impression de base dรฉgringole assez vite. C'est assez long, aromatisรฉs mais il en reste un arriรจre gout de dรฉception

Excellent oaky rum.

First tried during this during the Mount Gay tour.

I had intended to by the XO on my last trip to the States, but couldn't find it, so I settled for the Black Barrel statement. What a disappointment. None of the sophistication of the XO. Why even make such an inferior edition when the price difference is but a few measly dollars? The only good thing I can say is that upon opening it was more like a '2', but after a couple of weeks it calmed down a little and I could actually almost enjoy a shot of it. But I highly recommend spending the few extra bucks to get the XO.
