The Mount Gay XO Cask Strength Limited Edition 63% 700ml is a highly sought-after release that celebrates the 50th anniversary of Barbados' independence. Limited to just 3,000 bottles, this special edition rum is presented in an elegant wooden box. Crafted by Mount Gay, one of the oldest distilleries in the Caribbean, known for its rich history and expertise in rum production, this expression is a testament to their legacy. Utilizing both pot and column stills, Mount Gay has produced renowned expressions like the Eclipse and XO, and this cask strength variant offers a unique experience with an ABV of 63%. With a dark and rich golden hue, this rum starts with an initial nose that reveals sweet and spicy notes of caramel, toffee, and spice cake, despite an unusual first impression that dissipates quickly. The palate is rich and complex, featuring wood, pepper, pineapple, coconut, vanilla, sweetness, and tobacco notes. The finish is warm and lingering, leaving behind traces of fruit, vanilla, coconut, milk chocolate, coffee, and a hint of vegetal character. Despite some divided opinions on its aromatic profile, the Mount Gay XO Cask Strength delivers a satisfying and multi-layered drinking experience, making it a valuable addition to any rum aficionado's collection.
