My favorite rum so far was the 30 anniv. Version of QRM. This one is pretty similar, just even more complex, slightly sweeter and has a great tail...
But... I had the chance to compare it directly with UNHIQ XO, then the excellent cubaney just gets boring compared to the amazing intense, round and sweet taste of the UNHIQ XO. So i keep a 9...

Sikken en fantastisk smag som hรฆnger lรฆnge i munden.
Der er smagsnoter af vanilje - karamel - chokolade.
Den er til den dyre side, men den smager fantastisk godt.

Smells and tastes of spice, butterscotch, vanilla, oak, and honey, with a small hint of bourbon. This is truly an exceptional rum, though I wouldn't mind just a tad more sweetness. Near the top of the "9" rating scale.
Traditional rum produced by the Oliver family in the Dominican Republic. Top 10 in the world according to the Beverage Tasting Institute of Chicago.

Dark rum, toffee and slightly burn with a lot of character! This is a deep and well combined rum with a very long aftertaste!
YUM! Will write a more detailed review next time.

Amazing sipping rum. Sweet, but not too sweet, very easy to drink. Strong wood smell and taste. Really liked it. But probably won't buy another bottle soon because of the price tag.

Good . Aroma with hints of molasses and dried fruits. Taste was a little flat and a little bit on the sweet side with hints of dried fruits and vanilla . I was expecting more complexity.

Everyone seems to like it based on the reviews however I am pretty sure there are many other brands way tastier than this

That was new and great experience for me. I learned a lot about rum history and production (solera method), people who work at the distillery and, of course, something new about rum.
We had four sorts for degustation.
Punta Cana XOX
Opthimus XO
Unhiq XO
Cubaney Centenario
They all are smooth, great taste, unique sorts sharing common Dominican cane\soil\roots.
All has intriguing aroma, vanilla and fruits on palate, a bit woody. Definitely in sweet league. All sorts have long pleasant aftertaste.
The devil was in nuances )
(I think person next to me (beer drinker) did not detect any differences. For me that was more or less obvious).
So (AFAIR, one week later)...
1st was Punta Cana: super fruity, oily, likely most smooth.
2nd Opthimus: dark chocolate notes, with little alcohol kick on palate.
3rd Unhiq: the little kick on lips, rich and longest aftertaste.
Finally Cubaney: most woody and most of tobacco notes, less sweet.
All of them (classic solera) - must try for the rum connoisseur.
P. S. Cubaney should score 10+, but I think it was opened long time ago and evaporated a bit.

A very nice looking bottle that comes in a cheap paper box (picture). I really think that this luxury rum deserves a better package. In this pricerange you can expect more.

In the glass you first smell some alcohol but after a while you get sweet aromas from toffee, vanilla and almonds. You also sense som oak and maybe a hint of whisky. I really recommend that you let this rum rest in the glass for atleast 10 minutes.

In the mouth you get a lot of spice. You also get sweet flavours of caramel, vanilla and fruits. In the throat you get some spice and sweet flavours. This rum is very smooth with a very long spicy aftertaste.

This is one of the rums that can make any "rumhater" to change their minds. With its 25-30 year blend this rum deserves a lot of respect when you drink it. Cheers to Oliver & Oliver and thank you for a great experience.
