It has been while so I don't have a pic, but I did research here and pick this one after Brugal 1888, which was lovely rum as well, this was also dry but smooth and sweet on tongue. Well balanced and last long. If you like dry but smooth rum this is good choice.
Beautifully Caramel flavour with a hint of fig Best served with ice and Ginger beer my favourite mount gay 👍

Very nice barrel-taste rum with a very long-lasting aftertaste. You feel a slight burn but one that is not overpowering or annoying. Slightly better than Doorly's 12. Could give it a 9 and may still change my mind. A benchmark in its category and a go to for sure.

Great choice after a challenging but also a successful day. A pampering taste of salted caramel, which unfolds with cloves and softens with chocolate.

This rum is aromatic and has stronger smoke taste.
El Mount Gay XO es un Ron con todas las letras, una mezcla de ron de columna y de alambique de retorta. Color cobrizo brillante. En nariz es algo punzante, destacan notas a cognac de la barrica, fruta tropical sobre todo piña madura y caramelo. En boca se nota la potencia alcoholica pero sin llegar a ser molesto, estan muy bien integrados los 43°. Es untuoso, continúan los matices que tenía en nariz, cognac y mucha barrica. Seco y astringente, invita a seguir bebiendo aunque tiene un sabor persistente. En definitiva, un buen ron para disfrutar a pequeños tragos.

Nice rum for sipping, not sweet. Interesting stuf. Need to try other bottles from this brand.

Can't speak highly enough of this chocolate, leather, woody caramel banana palet! An xo worthy of the name
I love Barbados rum more than any other, and this takes the crown..... From the cask flavours to the fruits, to the chocolate. The nose is instantly recognisable and just makes me smile
Enjoy a drop , nothing to regret on this one! How this drink make the things easy

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.
