Opinions land in the middle here. Most call it "a nice everyday and easy to drink rum" — brown sugar, orange zest, vanilla and a woody, gingerbread edge. A Louisiana molasses rum, not an Antillean-style one, and a few tasters found the aromas a bit thin and the finish short. Gourmand and soft rather than deep.

How does Bayou XO Mardi Gras taste?

From community reviews · summarized with AI

Soft, gourmand everyday sipper Well-liked as an easy, gourmand daily pour of brown sugar and oak. Several note the flavors fade fast and the finish stays short — pleasant, not profound.

Overall an OK rum, but quite overpriced. Tasted it at the Stockholm Beer & Spirits Fair 2023. This Louisiana rum from Bayou is a molasses rum. The sugarcane has grown in the soils around the Mississippi River Delta. After fermentation it’s distilled in a copper pot still whereafter it’s aged in ex-bourbon barrels and finished in ex-sherry barrels for a total aging of up to 6 years using the Solera method.

👃 I smell candied fruits, woodiness, burnt grass, and a bit of vanilla. 👄 When drinking it, caramel, a bit of honey, and the roundness brought by the sherry come through, with a short finish. You get an average 6-year-old old rum, far from Caribbean standards but probably suited to its national market.

Unfortunately, I expected a bit more here. It has nice woody notes. But also a taste of dark fruits. However, the aromas are unfortunately weak and flat. The taste disappears quite quickly. A shame, but I can still recommend a distillery tour.
