This is an incredibly dry rum that would be the perfect choice for whisky drinkers trying out rum for the first time. I like this one but i don't find it incredibly interesting. It does make a nice change from all the super sweet rums though.

(Called XO here in Ontario, Canada)

Very good rum.

Warm, spicy and dry. Apart from the usual rum flavours, maybe a hint of grape but not that overly flavourful.

Well priced. I drink it neat however I don't mind mixing it for guests.

Good any way you want it. Neat, mixed, whatever. Reminds me of butterscotch lifesavers without the intense sweet.

I've bought this bottle so many times I've lost track. This is more of a consistent, accessible, versatile rum baseline for me. It's not your top shelf, but I'm yet to be disappointed by it. It's very smooth and on the sweeter side. It's a little pricey to be considered a mixer rum, but it's availability makes that guilt free.

Worth to try, it has its character and is nice with coke. Woody and kind of a sweet.

This is a nice rum with a bit strong punch. Works really well with a couple of drops of water. Quite dry.

MG XO is sweet, smooth and subtile while being full of oaky and leathery character. One fails to notice the 43 % and remains amazed by this excellent rum.

not an expensive rum but it's really not much better than your standard mount gay eclipse. It's smoother but you don't get that depth of flavour that other premium XO's present so not really worth the step up.
