You can recognize Mates XO by its softness, natural sweetness, and wonderful round taste. The rums have been matured in oak ex-bourbon barrels, which have given the spirit a delicious flavour.
Mates XO brings together two great 8-year-old rums from Barbados and the Dominican Republic. We have combined these two celebrated spirits with our 5- to 8-year-old rum from Nicaragua to create the Mates XO.
All three countries are famous for their unique traditions of fermentation, distillation, and ageing. We have blend these specific countries to create a wonderful Caribbean base with a South American touch. This makes the Rum nice and round and offers you a buttery feeling. Not to high in ABV to give you even more smooth pleasure.

The Gold Rum is younger compared to the XO Rum. Both offer a variety of profile. Nevertheless, the gold offers funky and exotic tones whereas the XO proves its smooth, sweet and round profiles from the Ex-bourbon casks.
