20 Best Rums in 2024

4. Mount Gay XO Triple Cask Blended Rum

Insider Monkey Score: 9

This is a fine blend of pot and column still rums, matured in a combination of American whiskey, Bourbon, and Cognac casks, and then bottled at 43% ABV. This unique aging process adds a dry oaky complexity to the drink, a distinction which is widely enjoyed.

In 1989, the French spirits company Rémy-Cointreau acquired the majority ownership in Mount Gay Distilleries, Ltd, and still owns the brand to this day. The alcohol giant has invested heavily in Mount Gay over the last decade, including a $19 million refinery in 2014 and a $9.7 million plantation the following year.
