Mount Gay Rum XO

Ultimate Beverage Challenge 96 points - Intriguing nose of the cocoa bean, clementine, and oiled baseball glove start this rum off. Rich, viscous with toffee, sea-like minerals, and a welcome hint of citrus pith combine to create a complex mouthfeel and culminate in a robust, lengthy finish.April/2016

Wine Enthusiast 90 points - The initial aroma includes scents of treacle, spice and flower garden; further aeration brings out aromas of black pepper, cola nut, dried red fruit, and molasses. The palate entry is long and toffee-like; at midpalate honeyed, apple butter-like, and creamy flavors add zesty spice to the aftertaste..December/2005
