Bayou XO Mardi Gras <6yr 40%

“Complex, easy-drinking with woody sweetness.”

The XO Mardi Gras rum hails from the Bayou distillery in the USA, distilled with a column still method and aged for up to 6 years. It is frequently noted for its woody and vanilla aroma, complemented by a harmonious blend of oak and caramelized notes. On the palate, it is praised for its woody, brown sugar, and sweet flavors with hints of honey and smokiness. While some find it overpriced, many enjoy its complexity and easy drinkability. It is crafted using a unique combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry cask aging, which contributes to its smooth, rounded profile. An ideal choice for those seeking a versatile, approachable rum that subtly nods to its Louisiana origins.

“Overall an OK rum, but quite overpriced. Tasted it at the Stockholm Beer & Spirits Fair 2023. This Louisiana rum from Bayou is a molasses rum. The sugarcane has grown in the soils around the Mississippi River Delta. After fermentation it’s distilled in a copper pot still whereafter it’s aged in ex-bourbon barrels and finished in ex-sherry barrels for a total aging of up to 6 years using the Solera method.”
