MOUNT GAY XO (EXTRA OLD) RUM – REVIEW

The new prentatn of the Mount Gay Extra Old Cask Rerve Rum is keepg wh the Eclipse (Mount Gay’s entry level offergs). Like the Eclipse the MGXO has Mount Gay Distilleri etched to the glass of the bottle, as pictured. In light of my imprsns wh this m I have also cid to revist Mount Gay Eclipse.

Of the three ms I found Mount Gay to be the middle terms of u aroma’s. Tastewise I found the Mount Gay to be very nice and que easy gog spe the 43% ABV. In terms of prentatn is a two horse race between Seale’s odd ball offerg and Mount Gay’s more ntemporary approach.

A blend of ms, some of the blend is double distilled pper pot stills and other parts distilled a pper Coffey lumn still (a Coffey still is ually ed for Irish whiskey) – then aged ex bourbon oak sks for var perds of time then blend to profile for each Mount Gay product so proportns of each distillate and the ag of each ponent may vary wily but tast the same. Olst of the Mt Gay le the youngt beg Mount Gay Eclipse Silver and ’s olr siblg of the Mount Gay Eclipse.
