Why You'll Love It

This is Barbadian rum at its most refined and sophisticated. Mount Gay XO brings together carefully selected aged rums to create a harmonious blend with exceptional complexity and smoothness. The extended ageing in American oak barrels creates layers of vanilla, caramel, and spice, while the tropical climate accelerates maturation and intensifies the flavours. It's a rum that rewards contemplative sipping and showcases the craftsmanship of the world's oldest rum distillery.

Distillery & Production

Produced at Mount Gay Distilleries in Barbados, the world's oldest rum distillery established in 1703. XO is a blend of pot still and column still rums aged between 8 and 15 years in American oak barrels. The tropical ageing climate and careful selection of mature rums create a spirit with exceptional depth, complexity, and smoothness.

Tasting Notes

Deep amber colour with rich aromas of vanilla, toasted oak, dried fruit, caramel, and warm spice with hints of banana and tropical fruit. The palate is smooth and complex with flavours of butterscotch, vanilla, oak, dried apricot, and gentle spice. The finish is long and elegant with lingering oak, vanilla, and subtle fruit.

Perfect Serve

Best enjoyed neat or over ice to appreciate the complex flavours and smooth character. Also excellent in premium cocktails like Old Fashioneds or Rum Manhattans. Pairs beautifully with fine chocolate, cigars, or enjoyed as a sophisticated after-dinner digestif.
