A very special Bajan rum, Mount Gay XO is now receiving long-overdue international recognition. Full-flavoured and extremely mellow, with a lingering finish.

Mount Gay Extra Old Rum Reviews

Tasting Notes

  • Tasting Notes by Simon Difford (CLASS Magazine)

    Appearance
    Clear, golden amber with polished gold highlights

    Aroma
    Spicy apricot, ripe banana and vanilla with rum and raison ice-cream.

    Taste
    Fiery but velvety, honeyed palate with cooked fruit, ripe banana, toffee apple and sweet pastry notes overlaid with spicy oak - cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg.

    Aftertaste
    Long dry oaky finish. Light-bodied but very rich and full-flavoured.

    4/5 Praiseworthy

    Outstanding rum. A classic. The sophistication of whiskey with the soothing flavor of a pure rum.

    Enjoyed this over two holidays in Barbados. Brought some back and it tastes almost as good in the UK (just the sun, smiles and reggae missing). A smooth rum which can be sipped or mixed (diet coke or ginger both work well).

    Doesn''t compare to Diplomatica. Doesn''t have Diplomatica''s sweetness.

    Ice, XO and a splash of bitters will have you back on Dover or Rockley Beach. Perfect rum.

    Top notch

  • Rosso 16 October 2013

    The best rum I have tasted and a favourite of mine since my first visit to Barbados in 1987. Smooth, rich flavour with a hint of bourbon hiding in the background. Great on its own but also superb with coke. A "pint of Bajan" is a must to quench that thirst. Recommended.

    One of my favourite rums. Sip it on a Tuesday afternoon with some tropical fruit, brown sugar and your choice of junk food and half a bottle later you become ridiculously handsome.

  • Alistair James 14 January 2013

    Not a favourite rum, but I managed to polish off half a bottle one Saturday morning without realising. You get a brown sugar sweetness and some tropical fruit - its the junk food of the rum world (in a good way) and shouldn't be compared to 'sipping' rums, although its worth noting that half bottle vanished without mixer or ice.
