Oliver y Oliver don’t distil their own rum but, according to them, acquire selected ultra fine alcohol from the best distilleries in Panama, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Trinidad and Tobago and other distilleries from the French and Caribbean islands. They age, blend the different rums to be matured in Tempanillo and Bourbon barrels using the traditional Solera Method.

I was surprised to learn that they have a considerable product range. This includes the brands of Quorhum, Cubaney, Presedencial. The Opthimus range is apparently their higher quality rum.

The Opthimus range comes in a wide variety of solera ages (12, 15, 18, ,21 and 25) and also two additional finishes for the 25 year old (malt Whisky & oPorto)

I picked up the standard 25 year old. The rum comes in an unassuming chunky bottle with a written bottling series number and year which is a nice touch. Suprised to see that it isbottled at only 38% abv.

A dark mahogany brown color. Sweet smells of caramel, dark fruit, vanilla. The taste is again very sweet and similar to the nose but not lots of complexity. Good long finish with a bit of dry oak. Very morish though.

A bit pricey for an under proofed solera rum. However it does make for a very tasty and easy drinking solera rum

Have had this rum near the top of my "once in a while" list due to the price and finally went for it. Wanted so much to love this rum but I don't. Too fruity. Too smooth. Tastes almost like a liquor. Glad I was finally able to try it. I'll take Appleton 12 or Flor De Cana 12 or MG Black Barrel double cask or many others over this. And all are 1\2 the price.

Opthimus 25 is the very best 25 year Rum I've had the pleasure to drink. Very smooth, not too sweet with a very pleasant after taste that lingers for awhile. Found this while on a cruise in the Caribbean I think in Dominican Republic. Luckily found it at Total Wine when we got home. They have others that fit into other categories, but the 25 Solera is my go to.

An enjoyable sweet rum, but nothing special to it. Really easy to drink.

Mám k rumům z Dominikány vztah - je to moje milovaná destinace a velmi jsem si oblíbil rumy od Oliver Oliver - tento špičkový kousek je Optimus 25 - pro ty, kteřá milují sladké tak jim velmi bude chutnat. Pro ty co hledají španělské typy rumů to moc nebude. Je typický Oliver - cítíte melasu, dubové dřevo a čokoládu. V chuti sladké tóny vanilky,medu,kávy a karamelu. Zakončení je rovněž sladké a jemné. Vzhledem k jeho nízé voltáži ho doporučím všem co mají rádi sladké rumy a nehledají těžký alkohol - 38 % uspokojí jak začátečníka tak i někoho kdo si tento rum dá jako odměnu po odpracovaném dni.

This well-balanced rum is the perfect drink to enjoy on a nice and clear spring day. Its handcrafted body gives this rum a pleasantly light yet rich flavour.

Robe plus foncé que le 18 ans et le X.O.. Nez timide. En bouche beaucoup de rondeur avec du caramel, boisé et canelle. Un rhum tres raffiné et doux.
