Opthimus 15-Year

Jantarová patnáctka z Dominikánské republiky, která se válela v sudech od bourbonu a whisky, má krásnou chuť po vanilce, čokoládě a kakau s jemným dlouhým medovým závěrem ξ;

Ok rum, nothing special but decent. Nothing to remember though.

This rum was an dissapointment the first times i drank it.
But after 3-4 Times i disovered the tastes that i had missed.
This is a realy good rum!

Really more like a 6.5, but I’m feeling generous at the moment. Def heavy on the caramel and sweet note, which I’m totally fine with, but I’m not sure I would make this a go to for a sipper. Plenty smooth and tasty enough to sample though, and ultimately would do in a pinch.

As usual, I walked into one of my favorite liquor stores hoping to buy a specific one and it was not there. Browsing through what was available, I finally found a rum by Opthimus at only $46, which is still below my $50 per bottle limit. With the name of Oliver & Oliver on the box, I knew that it had to be good since I love their Vizcaya rums by the same company. Mine is bottle number 124 from 2016. It is a 15 year solera rum.

I opened it up and poured a snifter, then let it breathe for more than an hour. The aroma and taste are of caramel, with no after burn or horrible taste. It is a very good rum, but not complex enough to make it into my top ten sipping rums. It won't go to waste and I now have another expensive fancy bottle for my collection. I should be thankful that I have already found my top ten after starting out only two months ago. Thanks to all of the reviewers who guided me to the right ones.

Positivt overrasket - fin balanceret med gode nuancer

Ein wunderbarer Sommer Ron.
In der Nase, angenehme Aromen von Trockenfrüchten, Banane und Honig.
Im Gaumen werden diese Aromen noch mit einer gewissen Schärfe untermalt.
Der Abgang himmlisch.
Ein super Ron aus dem Hause Oliver&Oliver

A wonderful summer Ron.
In the nose, pleasant aromas of dried fruits, banana and honey.
In the palate these aromas are still underlined with a certain sharpness.
The departure celestial.
A super Ron from Oliver & Oliver

Lot of very sweet flavor, vanilla, custard, butterscotch. Not very complexe with pastry taste and nice aftertaste. This is a good rum for an introduction to the range Opthimus

dopředu bych rád otestoval i další opthimusy.
výrazná ovocná vůně a chuť po ovoci
je trochu alkoholovější ale prostě mi sedl
8,5

Rukopis Olivera, moje slabost, klasika, voňavý, jemný, chutný, parádička

Smooth and sweet, but not the most balanced. Lots of vanilla.

Very nice aroma - light, with fruit and vanilla tones. Taste is sweeter, but not too much. Body is simple and not much complex with more layers. Average aftertaste with honey and bourbon.

endnu en dejlig rom fra Olver og Oliver. denne er dog ikke så sød som eks. Quorhum .

bouteille de 2016, très bon, puissant, complexe. A tester

Mild und sanft, Honig und leichte Ingwerschärfe, Fruchtigkeit und Süsse.

Ein angenehmer Rum zum geniessen mit einem bleibendem Abgang.

It's a nice rum but I like the older ones better...

:-)
Ok
Den skal bare lige stå og spritte lidt af.

Vinder ved nærmere bekendtskab
Eftersmagen er begrænset

Enjoyed back-to-back 25, 21, 18 and 15 year old Opthimus rums this weekend. The 15 year Opthimus was such a disappointment. It was well priced for a 15 year old rum, but man is it nasty when compared to the older siblings! The burn is awful and the flavors are so immature that I would recommend skipping this one. If you want to try Opthimus for the very first time, try the 21 year old and it will set you a very good benchmark.

Opthimus 25 year 7 points
Opthimus 21 year 8 points
Opthimus 18 year 6 points
Opthimus 15 year 4 points

Sød, mild og kort eftersmag. Ikke noget power over denne.

Dear readers, i bought this bottle today in a grocercy store. Nice bottle with a real and worthy cap.
Nose: dried fruits, candy, caramel. Mouth: banana, more dired fruits, toffey. And nice and long lasting.
This will not be my last bottle of this brand.
Year 2016, bottle 2040 of 6000

for his Age this Ron as a very smooth & sweet taste Long in the Swallowing.
