Mount Gay XO Extra Old

My overall winner, great for the money, holds complexity and flavours.

Für mich ein toller Rum aus Barbados - sehr geschmacksvoll . Als Sipping Rum geeignet.

good rum, nothing bad but for me there is better than this in the same category

Color: reddish gold

Nose: Oh yes, there's so much going on here. Just for starters I'm getting maple syrup, burnt brown sugar, ripe persimmons, apples, vanilla, oak sap, sawdust. Adding a drop of water turns things creamier, cola and cream soda come through.
Thick oily legs slowly stroll down the sides of the glass.

Taste: similar to nose with strong baked apples, brown sugar, cola. Medium finish that's very good but the nose is the main attraction here. Well done!

aunque no es el 1706, este ron esta a su altura, esta alrededor de $30, pruébenlo y no se arrepentiran

Not too sweet, and it has complex tastes. One of the my best favorite rum in this price range.

One hell of a good rum and worth buying. IF you are looking for a rum that's not been played like adding extra sugar then go for this it has none.

Took a tour of the Mount Gay Distillery in Barbados and liked OX over the 1703. It was more appealing to my palate and at less than half the price....

This is nice, it is not a overly sweet rum a happy middle. You can drink this straight or with ice or a little lemon juice squeezed in. Mixing with normal mixers is a waste to the rum. If mixed with these drinks you will not appreciate the full flavour.

has a woody aroma with a dry finish.
Tried it on the rocks, next time I'll try it straight up.
