Caramel, brown sugar, vanilla, honey, oak, sherry, and a light cinnamon. A bit stronger at 42%abv, but I like strong rums if they're this good.

Was pleasantly surprised as I don't regularly enjoy the sweeter rums. Still a little bit overwhelming after a couple of glasses, but very enjoyable after a meal with a cigar.

Very good rum, perfectly balanced, 42% alcohol.
The master blender did a really good job here. This is a work of art, it's perfectly blended.
You can keep it in your mouth for a while and it will tell you it's story in the language of aromas.
The taste is in my imagination red, balanced, sweet, rich and with red fruit aromas (that's because of the sherry finish).
Red rubber rings are very dominant and they suggest a very old age of this rum.
If you like sweet rums with PX sherry finishes like Cubaney or Quorhum you must taste this one.
I would rate that one (in the sweet rum category) with 92 points.
Smell: px sherry, old oak barrel, cherry, barrel/gum and earth, dry fruits, burned sugar
Taste: Sweet wood, cinemon, caramel, fruits (orange/apricot/cherry), spice, rubber rings
Finish: middle long, wood, some spices, slightly warm burn, cherries and rubber again

Nice nose, tasteful in mouth where you can feel the 42% in the end and a quite long and tasty afterburn.
It’s quite complex but a little bit to sweet to get the highest score from me.
It will anyway be a part of my Ron shelf for a long time.

Veľmi slušne zabalený rum, čo je na O&O tak trochu nezvyk. Aj keď tá papierová krabica pôsobí lacno na ultra prémiový rum. Po 10 minútach sa rum krásne v pohári rozvinie a naberie na intenzite. Vo vôni dominujú sladké vanilkové tóny, pražené oriešky a hrozienka. Unhiq XO je sladší rum, ale na druhej strane aj ostrejší (má 42% alkoholu), čo pôsobí vyvážene a celkovo výborným dojmom. Škoda, že je len v pol litrovej fľaši, dokáže sa veľmi rýchlo minúť.=) Podľa mňa je to najlepší rum z rodiny Oliver&Oliver a môžem ho každému len odporučiť. Top produkt.

Finally!.. A sipping rum that lacks the taste of alcohol.. The color is realy dark brown.. The scent is packed with cherries and a dark tone down to coffe and filled with sugar.. (Rum in my brain.. )The taste is thick, suggery and walks againts rasins.. The good news is that it lacks the taste and punch from pure etanol.. Truely fantastic..
Bouteille 649/3000. Le sucré ressort à l'odeur. Ça commence bien ma run sur l'App!

Brought a couple of these bottles back from the dominican republic, as the locals regarded this as one of their best rums. The nose is intense with chocolate, prunes and a hint of cinnamon and oak. The palette is wonderfully big bodied and intense with a medium sweetness. Truly deep notes of molasse, coffee and chocolate explodes in your mouth on a background of wood and bourbon. The aftertaste is a lingering spicy and mouth warming sensation with smoothe oaky notes. Though it should be savoured, I couldn't help myself instantly pouring another round after finishing the first and had to constrain myself for a third.

Nice complex sweet rum but way to overpriced

Unhiq XO Malt Rum is a Solera rum from the Dominican Republic whose oldest distillates are said to be between 25-30 years old. It comes from Oliver and Oliver. The rum is stored in bourbon and sherry barrels and is bottled with 42% drinking strength. Sugar caramel is added for the color. I think the rum is also sugared. The rum comes in a 0.5l bottle which is delivered with a wooden pedestal. The key data written by hand is a highlight.
The rum is not as strong in the nose as expected. Sweet caramel and fruity notes are in the foreground. Vanilla is also included. The nose is appealing without becoming intrusive. This rum wants to be drunk. On the palate, the rum is full-bodiedly sweet. It hardly burns. Caramel and vanilla and also oak are perceptible. Heavy caramelized fruit. Slightly woody. But above all, the sweetness remains. There is more to discover, but for me the sweetness covers a lot and distracts, because it invites you to consume it fast. The finish is slightly more spicy with bitter substances. Not as long as expected and for me nothing exciting comes in the after taste.
I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed. The Unhiq XO is good. It tastes delicious but I can't ignore the whole package. 1. It is certainly sugared. I guess 20-30g/l. 2. The presentation is half ready. Wooden pedestal but plastic cover!? 3. The 0.5l for 80-100 Euros are far too expensive. Others are just as good for less money (Malecon 25 or 20 Rare Proof). Here the price/performance ratio is not correct. I'll try other rums from Oliver and Oliver but for the Unhiq XO I wouldn't spend my money even if it tastes good... but not good enough. Simply said...: overpriced.
Der Unhiq XO Malt Rum ist ein Solera Rum aus der Dominikanischen Republik dessen ältestes Destillate zwischen 25-30 Jahre alt sein soll. Es kommt aus dem Hause Oliver und Oliver. Der Rum lagert in Bourbon und Sherry Fässern und wird mit 42% Trinkstärke abgefüllt. Es wird Zuckerkulör für die Farbe hinzugefügt. Ich glaube der Rum ist auch gezuckert. Der Rum kommt in einer 0,5l Flasche welche mit Holz Podest ausgeliefert wird. Wirkt alles ein wenig gewollt und nicht gekonnt. Die von Hand notierten Eckdaten wie Flaschennummer ist ein Highlight.
Der Rum ist in der Nase nicht so kräftig wie erwartet. Süße karamellige und fruchtige Noten sind im Vordergrund. Vanille ist auch dabei. Die Nase ist ansprechend ohne aufdringlich zu werden. Der Rum will dann aber lieber getrunken werden. Am Gaumen ist der Rum vollmundig süß. Er brennt kaum. Karamel und Vanille und auch Eiche sind wahrnehmbar. Schweres karamellisiertes Obst. Leicht Holzig bleibt vor allem die Süße bestehen. Da ist durchaus mehr zu entdecken, aber für mich überdeckt die Süße viel und lenkt ab, da er dadurch süffig wirkt und eher zum schnellen Konsumieren einläd. Der Abgang ist etwas würziger mit Bitterstoffen. Nicht so lang wie erwartet kommt für mich im Nachklang nichts spannendes mehr.
Ich muss zugeben, dass ich etwas enttäuscht war. Der Unhiq XO ist gut. Er schmeckt lecker aber ich kann das Gesamtpaket nicht ignorieren. 1. Er ist bestimmt gezuckert. 20-30g/l schätze ich. 2. Die Aufmachung ist halbgar. Holz Podest aber Plastik Deckel. 3. Die 0,5l für 80-100 Euro sind für mich viel zu teuer. Da sind andere für weniger Geld genauso gut (Malecon 25 oder 20 Rare Proof). Hier stimmt das Preis/ Leistungsverhältnis nicht. Ich werde andere Rums von Oliver und Oliver probieren, aber für den Unhiq würde ich das Geld nicht ausgeben auch wenn er mir schmeckt. Einfach überteuert.
