Mount Gay XO Triple Cask Blend Rum 70cl

If I had to choose between this and plantation XO I would have to get both !

excellent lovely rum, smooth how they all should be - always enjoying a glass of this stuff

Although the new XO has the characteristic Mount Gay, unsweetened rum flavor of the old XO, this new version has no punch and the flavor sort of dies on the palate rather than linger. A very disappointing finish, to say the least. Of course, if you never had the privilege of tasting the original XO, it's hard to explain why the change is so disappointing. And I really don't understand why so many fellow travelers haven't noticed the the drop-off in quality. I guess it's just one of those things. Emotionally I feel like giving this a '2', but in fairness, the nose is still very delightful, and the initial 1 or 2 seconds of flavor is quite decent. But the "collapse of the 'flave' packet" (apologies to all who got that reference and the one fast approaching) represents a quantum let-down that I can't ignore.

Classic rum. My favourite MGR. Drink neat with a little bit of ice.

It's like the Mount Gay Eclipse, but not available in Morrisons and so much better. Quite good with a bit of cheesecake, but that's just my opinion. My entirely correct opinion that is MUCH more correct than yours. Which is also correct but mine is better.

You should get some, if only because the bottle is pretty cool.

Oh! It tastes pretty nice too, I guess.

Drank this while listening to a steel band ,at Surfside Holetown. The band was wonderful , the setting beautiful and the Rum sensational. I think it's the best rum you'll ever try.

Excellent with or without an ice cube. Do not spoil it with any mixer

Top quality, tasty drink, as one would expect from Mount Gay.

really nice!

Very nice rum this from the mount although definitely need to give it some time to breathe as the alcohol vapours can catch you initially, maybe a drop of water or cube if it's your preference
