Rivière du Mât XO
Most enjoy its smooth, sweet caramel and fruit, but many find it thin, flat and uninteresting for an XO. Consensus: pleasant, easy, but forgettable and better in simple mixed drinks.
Those building their palate who like smooth, sweet, low-ABV rums and want an undemanding XO-style bottle mainly for relaxed sipping or Cuba Libre–style long drinks.

How does this rum taste?
Smooth but basic sweet sipper
If you enjoy soft, sweet column-still rums and mainly mix with cola or drink easy porch sippers, this works; if you crave depth and structure, you’ll likely find it too basic.
Enthusiasts seeking complexity, intensity or dry profiles, and anyone expecting a rich, contemplative XO sipper with depth and strong aromatic presence.

Ya basic! Very bland and superficial with too much burn for its weight. Hard pass. Wouldn’t even use it as a mixer nowadays…
I was rather disappointed with this XO. I had expected far more from it to be honest. Very sweet and fruity with light wood and caramel on the profile.
Not impressed by this, expected more. Nice and easy to drink, but also forgettable, unfortunately.
Rhum doux, assez rond avec une pointe fruitée. Léger goût de caramel.
