The story of Mount Gay Rum begins in the year 1703, on the Caribbean island of Barbados, when John Sober (seriously?!) inherited a distillery, and invited Sir John Gay to help manage it. Sir John Gay jumped at the opportunity to give the Barbadians something special. He refined the production process and began producing noticeably superior product that has survived to this day. Mount Gay is the oldest Rum brand in the World. A distillery with a 300-year tradition and Master Distiller Allen Smith at its helm. How can this expression go wrong? You’re right it cannot... and it didn’t.
MGXO is a fantastic blend consisting of a wide range of sassy Rums from 7 to 15 years of age, all of which were nursed in American White Oak ex-Kentucky Bourbon barrels. MGXO’s excellence was awarded many a time (e.g. Trophy at the 2001 International Spirits Challenge in London), but even though it is very highly regarded among Rum-inados, it’s still often overlooked by noobs who look for “premium” on the label... don’t be that guy. To covet or not to covet? Hmm… not really a tough nut to crack, is it?

Rum used to be accepted as form of currency in Europe and Australia, a practice we should probably bring back into fashion.

Ratings & Reviews
Rick,
This is becoming my go-to daily rum. I can get this at my local bottle shop for $40 and at that price is hard to beat. Love the ripe fruit and hints of dark brown sugar. Always a pleasure on the rocks with a lime wedge.
Joel,
My go to rum, tastes great neat, with ginger beer/cola or in cocktails
Hayden,
Well spiced. Takes me to an island when I taste it.
Vicky,
One of my favorite rums. Rich complex flavors.
Brandon,
Smooth and mildly sweet - some molasses flavor. I taste vanilla and some fruit like apricot. Very good - definitely one to get again
