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

The nose is wonderful, in the mouth it is thick.. With a hint of coffe.. But the fire from the alcohol comes at you. It burns you at the finish. And leaves you with that wonderful hint of coffe. I can´t wait for this rum to mature..

Very sweet, lots of sugar added, but very complex and decent aged flavours.
Thick, syrup like mouthfeel.
For me, It's a little bit boring but Spanish rum lovers can add 1-2 point's to my rating.

Ok sipper, good mixer. But for that price - terrible for both.

Best Rum in the category €50-€75. Smooth, silky, creamy, sugar, vanilla. The French oak gives it a more fruity flavor than American oak. One of the few rums I always keep in stock!

Overly sweet and sugared, but still somewhat drinkable, with notes of tropical fruits and brioche.

This is a very smooth very sweet rum, but I would love to have some research on added sweetener or flavors. If this is 100% naturalist it is unbelievably good, but nothing like my other top rated rums like Foursquare, and Appleton 21, 25, 30.

please find me an aged rum from Dominican Republic that is not sweetened after distillation !
they are real gentlemen, doing all rums for senoritas, not one for men !

I thought that nothing would inspire me anymore, but I find so many flavors and aromas in these rums that I also ordered a 65% XO Cask version for the test. However, it is already very strong, but this 40% Esclavo XO is perfection for me and I currently have it in one of the first positions in my rankings. I expect that the next version will be called Patridom, because the brand is changing.

Myslel jsem, že už mne nic nenadchne, ale v těchto rumech se nacházím, tolik chutí a vůní, že jsem na zkoušku objednal i 65% XO Cask verzi. Nicméně ta už je moc silná, ale tohle je pro mne dokonalost sama a v současnosti jej mám na jedné z prvních pozic svého žebříčku. Čekám, že další verze se již bude jmenovat Patridom, neboť dochází ke změně značky.
