How does this rum taste?
Honest, dry-leaning everyday Barbados XO
If you like honest, unsweetened rums like Doorly’s or entry Foursquare, this fits as a smoother, easier XO with classic vanilla-caramel and dry wood at a friendly 43%.
Drinkers seeking big cask-strength intensity, heavy sweetness, or very complex, layered rums; anyone who dislikes pronounced dry oak notes.
Overall very harmonious, multi-layered and very homogeneous. The alcohol is briefly noticeable in between, but this is not a negative factor. A very nice rum for beginners and advanced drinkers.

Extraordinario Espectacular alto golpe alcohólico bien balanceado
My first Mount Gay rum. I find it a bit harsh and quite woody.
This is definitely a Bajan style rum. Heavy and yet well balanced. This release is better than the one from 2011.
A little high quality-price ratio, but for a sweet rum, it does quite well
