— History you can taste

8/10

The oldest commercial rum distillery in the world, operating since 1703, and Mount Gay XO lives up to that heritage. Refined and complex with vanilla, butterscotch, leather, and oak. There's a dignity to this rum that newer distilleries can't replicate.

— Old Fashioned excellence

8/10

While I normally sip this neat, Mount Gay XO makes the most incredible Rum Old Fashioned. The butterscotch and vanilla notes play beautifully with the bitters, and the oak spice adds another dimension. The Barbadian refinement elevates the cocktail enormously.

— Smooth as silk

8/10

The mouthfeel on Mount Gay XO is extraordinary — silky, creamy, almost oily. Caramel, vanilla, butterscotch, and toasted coconut with a touch of dried fruit and oak spice. The finish is long and warming with a pleasant nutmeg note. Very well made.
