the glass, Ron Esclavo XO has a nice dark cup of cake, which immediately begins to spread a delicious scent of honey seed in the room
It is vanilla, syrup and honey that work alternately in a single candy dish. So much sweetness could easily be too much - but by keeping Ron Esclavo XO on 42% instead of 40%, you have balanced sweetman and lift cleaner flavors.

Vanilla, honey, syrup, a lot of sweet corn and caramel that are well balanced by the strength

Solera on the sweeter side is normal, but this one manages to be more smooth than other, which adds some drinkability to this bottle.

Nose: Vanilla, burnt suger and some minor hints of prunes and wood
Taste: Caramel, raisins, some roasted oak and a slight aftertaste of coffee.
Overall: A good sweet solera rum that would have been near perfection if it wasn´t watered down to 42abv

For me one of the best rums I have ever tasted. Very smooth sipping run, beautiful nose and balanced honey taste.
Plus the beautiful reddish color in a great bottle, 10 from me.

But I personally prefer the cask xo every day of the week.

Ein weiteres Meisterstück aus dem Hause Oliver & Oliver
Schönes dunkles Bernstein im Glas, wie Waldhonig.
In der Nase, wie in heisses Karamell getauchte dunkel geröstete Hölzer mit Pflaumen und Zimt garniert.
Im Gaumen, ganz weich, süss und rund, ein wenig Solera typisch, dennoch sehr interessant. Die Zunge wird vom Holz und Karamell umschmeichelt. Aromen von Toffee, dunkle Schokolade, dunkles Steinobst und dunkle Gewürze gesellen sich harmonisch dazu.
Im Abgang, klebriges Karamell am Holz, das mich schon seit Anfang begleitet. Lecker und langanhaltend.
Ein typischer O&O Ron wie z.B. Opthimus oder Quorhum, daher Wertung nur 8.75
Für Einsteiger und Geniesser.

Edit: Dezember 2020: Neue Aufmachung, sehr elegant und top modisch.
Sattes Bernstein mit Mahagonistich im Glas.
In der Nase sehr harte Holznoten, etwas Früchte und Karamell.
Am Gaumen warm, süss und weich, Schokolade mit Karamell, Fruchtstückchen und ein paar Holzschnipseln.
Im Abgang Frucht, Karamell, Kakao und eine ganz leichte Bitterkeit.
Keine 1:1 Verkostung, habe aber die alte Version vollmundiger in Erinnerung. 7.5

Another masterpiece from Oliver & Oliver
Beautiful dark amber in glass, like forest honey.
In the nose, as in hot caramel dipped dark roasted wood with prunes and cinnamon garnished.
The palate, very soft, sweet and round, a little Solera typical, yet very interesting. The tongue is caressed by the wood and caramel. Aromas of toffee, dark chocolate, dark stone fruit and dark spices join in harmoniously.
In the finish, sticky caramel on the wood, which accompanied me since the beginning. Tasty and long lasting.
A typical O & O Ron like Opthimus or Quorhum, therefore rating only 8.75
For beginners and connoisseurs.

Edit: December 2020: New presentation, very elegant and top fashionable.
Rich amber with mahogany tinge in the glass.
Very hard wood notes on the nose, some fruit and caramel.
Warm, sweet and smooth on the palate, chocolate with caramel, bits of fruit and a few snippets of wood.
Finishes with fruit, caramel, cocoa and a very slight bitterness.
Not a 1:1 tasting, but remember the old version being more full-bodied. 7.5

Been looking forward to taste this rum. And I was not dissapointed. Compared this one to the Qrm XO 23 yo. The difference between them are that the Qrm aftertaste stays much longer in your mouth. Nose, vanilla and fudge. Palate, vanilla, brown sugar, honey and fudge in a smooth sweet harmony. Just the right amount of sweetness. Great rum!

Första gången jag provar denna sort och den gör mig inte besviken. Söt och kryddig. Mycket vanilj och honung.

Nice dark color with coffee, butterscotch, toffee and caramel flavor. The alcohol is present at the first nose and disappear gradually. There is some notes of chocolate, cocoa and nuts. This rum is round, warm with a medium finish.

This rum is fantastic for this price. Great aftertaste. Full body aroma in my nose. Smart choice.
