lovely natural sugar, no cloying sweetness. lots of beautiful oaky spice too. this is a perfect primer rum for those working their way over from bourbon. i keep this one in regular rotation in my desk top ship decanter. mount gay has always been a favorite and this expression is absolutely lovely.

The first "Dry" finish on a rum that I have found. a Solid rum that is very smooth and nice for sipping. Nothing spectacular but definitely different in a nice way from the rums that I have tried.

When I drink this rum I feel like I am drinking something very good in the classic sense. The lack of added sugar gives it a natural sweetness and a very pleasant rich aroma. For me, as in many other reviews, it is a benchmark for other rums. It presents a high level. Any rum that is better than this certainly deserves attention.

I’m not a huge fan of Mount Gay but the XO is a great sipping rum for those looking for a smooth and reasonably priced XO.
It has been while so I don't have a pic, but I did research here and pick this one after Brugal 1888, which was lovely rum as well, this was also dry but smooth and sweet on tongue. Well balanced and last long. If you like dry but smooth rum this is good choice.
Beautifully Caramel flavour with a hint of fig Best served with ice and Ginger beer my favourite mount gay 👍

Very nice barrel-taste rum with a very long-lasting aftertaste. You feel a slight burn but one that is not overpowering or annoying. Slightly better than Doorly's 12. Could give it a 9 and may still change my mind. A benchmark in its category and a go to for sure.

A very nice Bajan rum.

This rum goes down very smoothly despite the slightly higher ABV of 43%. It has very nice aftertaste of fruit and wood. If I was going to knock anything at al is I really couldn't detect much of the fruit flavors in the nose but I'm just getting over a cold so that could be the reason for it. While I want rate this quite as high as some of the other rums for Barbados like Four Square it's still a great bargain for the price and will definitely go in my rotation for nightly drams.
