This rum is very good. Not too sweet and there's no need for any rocks in it.

Realy good taste. You should try it. Don't suit everyone but I like it.

I was expecting more, honestly. Still a little harsh to drink, and just not that complex.

Lot of different flavors. Needs onr ice cube to smooth it little.

Being a rather proud "straight" person the name is a bit of an obstacle to overcome. The rum as a whole is pretty tasty, can be enjoyed either on the rocks or neat. Pretty decent libation overall. There is a decent level of wood, a touch of whiskey and not an ounce of sweetness. From start to finish this rum is very good and something to have on your shelf.

This is quite a dry, strong rum. A nice amount of burn, and there's quite some oak and spices in the flavours. Also some distant sweetness... Perfect for those moments when you "need a drink".

Well its a special one. Because it stood in a cognac barrel for several months it has that special cognac taste. In the nose it is spicey and dry. On the tongue some dark chocolat. You have to drink it with a good cigar :)

Huge Woody profile for this copper dark rum, lots of bitter chocolate, some vainilla, bit strong alcohol in the nose and some coffee as well, bit dry fruits on the taste.
The same you smell, same you taste!
Good body very dense, medium finish/end
I think it is a traditional XO rum, not sweet and probably very good for old fashion.

This is great rum. Very subtlety sweet, with a smiley dark caramel and vanilla flavors. Neat it has a nice spice to it but not over powering. On the rocks it mellows nicely but maintains a strong, dark, smokey flavor. The scent is also smooth, mellow, and subtlety sweet caramel. It's a great rum overall and probably I would have rated this a 9 in the past. But recently I've had the Mount Gay black barrel which is cheaper than this and in my opinion, it's the better rum excluding the price. I've also rated the BB for those that are interested, bit won't reshash that review here. The XO is a fantastic rum and you can not go wrong with it. But for my tastes, I narrowly prefer the Mount Gay Black Barrel and since it's cheaper, the BB is now my go to.
