    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love this 15‑year Mount Gay XO for its balanced, classic Barbados profile—vanilla, caramel and oak with a hint of chocolate. Smooth at 43% and unsweetened in style, it’s enjoyed neat, in an Old Fashioned, or even mixed. Some find it a touch dry or not the most complex, but with 231 reviews and a bestselling reputation, it’s a dependable crowd‑pleaser.

    How is this rum rated?

    7.5/10 231 reviews

    Had just a sample of it, but I will definitely not hesitate for more if I get an opportunity again. The nose is round and pleasant with aromas of vanilla and chocolate. At the palate it’s complex, mild, balanced and spicy. The finish is medium long.

    A little high quality-price ratio, but for a sweet rum, it does quite well

    This is definitely a Bajan style rum. Heavy and yet well balanced. This release is better than the one from 2011.

    My first Mount Gay rum. I find it a bit harsh and quite woody.
