Barbados. 8-15 years in bourbon barrels. This is what I want in a rum. Noticeable but not overpowering sweetness. Bourbon notes are clear - flavors more toffee/caramel than banana/coconut. Looking forward to trying 1703.

If you enjoy Mount Gay, you'll love this rum.
Sweet but without being sickly. Normally with good rums I'd say don't mix, but for this a Dark'N'Stormy is the way to go.

Rum how itβs done. A livener as my dear departed Gran would say. Canβt think of anything better to drown my sorrows on or lift me up!

Mooi van kleur, fruitig, en zoet van geur.
Smaak is vol, met een pitje

A little bit pepperery without any burn not sweet but not completely lacking a brown sugar element not bad for 90 aud a bottle

I really enjoyed this bottle which I got for around β¬64 on Amazon great colour to it good flavours and a delicious aroma. Not quite up there with other XO's such as the Zacapa XO but at the price its very affordable.

Notes of creme brulee, molasses, spiced oak, caramel, maybe some sherry. Has a bite at 43% ABV but it becomes smoother after letting it breath for 30 minutes or adding an ice cube.

Love the XO Extra old Reserve Cask Rum by Allan Smith
This product brought more people to Mount Gay Brand Due to the Honesty of the Product a super Rum for a great price. Β£28 UK Then Ask yourself what on earth were they Mount Gay thinking They the Marketing department Double the price Β£59 UK Now Same 43% The new product is fine ! But it's not twice as Good by any means and this has Put me right off the Brand as they are treating us a fools . Bring the old one back and charge Us Β£30 and we will return and buy . I can buy 6 rum's off the Island in the UK for Β£30 and under that beat the New mount Gay XO hands down for half the price !!
I own a bottles and only rate what I have bought

Nice warm oaky flavour but bit too sharp and alcohol bit too present

English style, probably the oldest known rum destillery worldwide (1703)
Nose: Seems to be much sweeter than later on the tongue.
Palate: pretty harsh and sharp, with little volume. Not lasting long.
