Presidente 23-Year

Bra smak men eftersmaken försvinner lite för fort. Bra munkänsla och lågt sting av alkoholen.
Medium-söt och lagom fatkaraktär

A good, sweet rum, with some complexity to boot, and at a fair price. In my oppinion though, it has a somewhat "ordinary" Oliver & Oliver profile, and there are slightly more interesting and destinctive products within the brand. The palette is very sweet with notes of toffee, dried figs, dates and a classic spicy light oak and sweet tobaco finish. The balance is spot on, but overall perhaps lacking a little identity.

Expected to much I guess of this one, tastes rather avarage if you ask me

Bottle at home.

Just a good balanced rum, smooth with a good but short and simple aftertaste.

In Italian and English

Rum industriale realizzato con metodo "solera"... Chi conosce il vero funzionamento di questo metodo, sa bene che non è possibile riportare il numero di anni, proprio perché si mischiano diversi rum di diverse annate. Quindi diffidate da TUTTI i Rum che insieme al metodo solera riportano una qualsiasi data! Ad ogni modo è un distillato decente ma che non vale tutti i suoi soldi, quasi identico al Demerara di Rumnation, con la differenza che il Presidente 23 costa 1/3 in più.

All'olfatto: note prevalenti di caramello, cocco, tabacco. Leggera nota agrumata di chinotto.

Al gusto: è molto morbido, dolce quasi stucchevole.
Il caramello la fa da padrone, quindi un po' troppo monotono; il finale è medio e la bocca resta un po' impastata.

Rum "costruito" adatto ai novizi e agli amanti dei gusti dolci.

Consiglio per tutti: quando annusate un rum (o qualsiasi distillato), prima di inserire il naso e inspirare, effettuate un leggero soffio nel bicchiere e subito dopo provate a sentire i profumi. Questa operazione serve a svampare un po' la potenza dell'alcool che altrimenti vi porterebbe a bruciare nel naso e a coprire molti sentori.

Provate a berlo prima da solo, poi dopo aver mangiato del cioccolato fondente (dal 70 all'85% max), ed infine dopo aver mangiato una mezza fetta di arancia fresca (compresa buccia) con dello zucchero di canna sopra. ;-)

Industrial rum made with the "solera" method ... Who knows the true functioning of this method, knows very well that it is not possible to report the number of years, precisely because they mix different rums of different years. So be wary of ALL the Rum that along with the solera method report any date! However, it is a decent distillate but not worth all his money, almost identical to the Demerara of Rumnation, with the difference that President 23 costs 1/3 more.

On the nose: prevalent notes of caramel, coconut, tobacco. Light citrus note of chinotto.

To the taste: it is very soft, sweet almost cloying.
The caramel is king, so a bit 'too monotonous; the finish is medium and the mouth remains a bit 'kneaded. Rum "built" suitable for novices and lovers of sweet tastes.

Advice for everyone: when you smell a rum (or any distillate), before inserting the nose and inhaling, make a slight puff in the glass and immediately afterwards try to smell the perfumes. This operation serves to escape a little 'the power of alcohol that otherwise would lead to burn in the nose and cover many scents.
Try to drink it first alone, then after eating dark chocolate (70 to 85% max), and finally after eating a half slice of fresh orange (including peel) with brown sugar on top. ;-)

Skøn rom med masse af smag. Kan anbefale at man tester denne rom hvis der stødes på den. Masse af kant i den

I like this rum, it have a lot of aroma, it stays with you for a time.

Colour is dark, almost mahagony tint. Smell is decent, light and sweet, you can smell the varnish remover hints, which is expected for Oliver's. This is aged by solera, so 23 years carry significantly less weight.
Taste is mix of raisins, cherry, banana (especially on fresh bottle, it quickly fades) and molase.
If you are in for dessert, there is one. Sweet, so sweet, balanced but uninteresting. With price tag something like 40-45 EUR, this is rather underperforming.
For something called Presidente, you would expect character, but there is none, only empty promises. But that's maybe what they meant by the name...
Honestly, I will keep the bottle for the ladies and for some cocktails mixing.

A mahogany color with nose notes of almonds, marzipan, honey. In the mouth, we are on the classic pastry flavors. The finish is woody with caramel. Very short and not much character. I find it rather flat. Very disappointed. Real rate : 6,5
