This rum have been described by many as the perfect start for a newbies journey into rum. I have never tried it before, but wanted to see if this statement rings true.

Nose: Orange, prunes, oak, chocolate and vanilla
Taste: Sugar cane, honey, oak, molasses and a small hint of ripe banana hiding in the back
Overall: I must admit that the statement rings true, that this is a great rum for people, who want to begin their rum journey. Especially people who come from other spirits will find pleasure in this one as it is not overly sweet. However if you are completely new to spirits it might be a little harsh and bottles like Plantation XO and Zacapa 23 might be more up your alley, but none the less a great starter rum.

Good balanced rum. It will go well with a quality Cuban cigar.

lovely natural sugar, no cloying sweetness. lots of beautiful oaky spice too. this is a perfect primer rum for those working their way over from bourbon. i keep this one in regular rotation in my desk top ship decanter. mount gay has always been a favorite and this expression is absolutely lovely.

Krásně suchý rum. Lehká chuť i vůně s příjemným dojezdem. Jantarová barva

The first "Dry" finish on a rum that I have found. a Solid rum that is very smooth and nice for sipping. Nothing spectacular but definitely different in a nice way from the rums that I have tried.

When I drink this rum I feel like I am drinking something very good in the classic sense. The lack of added sugar gives it a natural sweetness and a very pleasant rich aroma. For me, as in many other reviews, it is a benchmark for other rums. It presents a high level. Any rum that is better than this certainly deserves attention.

I’m not a huge fan of Mount Gay but the XO is a great sipping rum for those looking for a smooth and reasonably priced XO.
