Mount Gay Extra Old (often written "OX") is a blend of rums aged between 8 and 15 years in American bourbon barrels.
Mount Gay Distilleries is the oldest operating distillery in the Americas - producing rum in Barbados since 1703. It's original name was Mount Gilboa, and in 1801 renamed Mount Gay after the distillery's manager Sir John Gay Alleyne.

Very earthy taste and very smooth, which is very surprising for a rum with no added sugar. I think I get some little notes of chocolate but overly I don't get so much aromas. Yet a 9 for his smoothness.

This one is strong and cool. Chocolate, caramell as well as some spice and some leather. Easy to drink and always nice to have.

I may need to sample more, but right now the verdict is that it is okay, but nothing spectacular.

I use this rum for my Cuba Libres and ist gives it a nice flavour.
coming into rum drinking once i moved to the tropics... as a whisky or cognac drinker, this rum is one of the best if not the best ive had that can be drank neat or on the rocks. like others have said, i think scotch drinkers would appreciate this rum.

For starters, this rum is not my taste in general lines, nevertheless it is still a 7 or 8 when compared to similar rums. If you like rums that are casky, not too sweet, then this one is for you and to me this is how it ranks compared to similar ones:
- Bacardi 8: 6pts
- Cruzan single barrel: 7pts solid
- Mount Gay XO: 7 to 8pts
- Havana club seleccion de maestros: 9pts.

Very good rum. Great over ice with a bold taste and very smooth oak finish. I agree with others who have commented. This is truly a real rum.

Stunning value for money, a real rum from Barbados! Smooth, complex and full variety of aromas: toffee, tobacco, cacao, pepper...

A little pricey compared to many other of my favorites in the 8, 9, 10 ranges. But not the most expensive and reasonable enough to keep in your rotation. Yum.
