Cartavio XO

Ron Cartavio XO is coming in a nice bottle where all the information is graved into the bottle. I like this detail instead of the cheap labels that a lot of other rum makers are using.
In the nose this rum is sweet, a little spicy and I find notes as toffe and vanilla. The palate offers notes as, caramel, vanilla, nuts and oak. The aftertaste is long with hints of molasse and oak. This is really a fantastic rum, and for 750 DKK (100 EURO) I think it's worth every penny, and maybe more. Buy this rum if you haven't tried it before, you will not be dissapointed!!

Det finns mycket doft och smak men lite väl mycket ek, spetsig och spritig, lite vatten gör susen

The presentation is gorgeous - who's not swayed by that bottle?! - and the color is divine. The nose is thick and candy with caramel, and you lose none of that in the sip & swallow. But, for me, this rum's sweetness overpowers the obvious effort in aging and blending. I find the flavors that make an XO rum worth the expense are nearly drowned here. Admittedly, I found sipping it over a single ice cube improved the experience. But at this price point, that's not what I was expecting. Still, in the bottle, this might be the best-looking rum I've ever seen.

This just appeared at my local liquor store for the first time, so I grabbed a bottle. I was VERY impressed with the taste based on the reasonable cost ($69.99 K&L Wines 2015).

Though I don't count it in my scoring, this is one of the nicest bottles in my collection. A beautiful shape, and a beautiful color (see rumratings photo).

Smells of vanilla, spice, sweet molasses, honey, and hazelnut; the taste is equally nice. I like this a lot!

Ron Carvatio XO comes in a classic bottle with a wooden cork. The rum is delivered in an tin box (picture). Hight class!

At first you smell some alcohol but when the rum have been resting for a while in the glass the aroma explodes with toffee, caramel and vanilla. One of the best aromas.

In mouth you get vanilla, caramel and fruit. You also get some spice in a very nice way. It is a very smooth and well balanced rum.

The aftertaste is long and sweet with some spice.

This is a favourite that I truly can recommend. The price is a bit high but it only costs half as much as Diplomático Ambassador Selection and I think this rum is almost in the same class.

The look and feel is outstanding.
Taste: Nice one with a bit of spicey after taste.

Silny, sladky a trpky, urcite neni spatny ale zadna slava

8 + Valeur sûre si on recherche un rhum typé, équilibré, des notes de toffee, il se compare plus au millonario solera 15 qu'au XO à mes yeux cependant, mais le prix est convenable à 65 euros en moyenne.

This is a really good one. Complex in all areas and always a good choice!

Sans réelles surprises dans sa catégorie, mais c'est un rhum très équilibré et agréable. Des saveurs de vanille, caramel et noix. La bouteille est superbe. Il lui manque ce petit quelque chose qui le rendrait fabuleux.
