very similar like 12y, but with liitle more complex, nice bottle
I had the luxury of tasting Ron Esclavo XO, 15 and 12 year old rums back-to-back and what a nice treat it was on a sunny Saturday evening. Ron Esclavo rums come from the Oliver & Oliver group, so it does not surprise me a bit that they are all amazing since most of their rums are simply stunning. The Ron Esclavo XO has a very deep color, whereas the 15-year old Ron Esclavo is much lighter in color. Coffee, chocolate and toffee have an amazing balance and when you move downwards from XO, which is super smooth, to 15 which is very nice to 12 which has a gradually larger amount of burn at the end. Surprisingly but the 12 year old is much darker in color than the 15 year old. The Ron Esclavo XO is much better than the Dictador XO Insolent which has a similar flavor profile, but it's nowhere close this good, whereas the Ron Esclavo 15 and 12 are much closer to the Dictador XO Insolent flavor profile.

If you like the spanish school of rum you will not be dissapointed. Sweet and smooth, but not as rich and balanced as the XO, but a good and cheaper alternative.
Very nice rum with smooth and sweet taste, not mistake if you buy.
Bedre end lillebroren men stadig intet jeg vil løbe ud at købe igen.
Vonou aj chutou velmi podobny mladsiemu 12 bratovi. V 15 rocnej verzii je trochu viac citit drevo v chuti. Inac velky rozdiel nevidim. V cene okolo 40€ je z 15 rocnych rumov ovela lepsou volbou El Dorado 15y.
As a first taste, a hint of sour.
That disapears very fast after a few sips.
In nose, karamel and vanila are dominant.
Maybe a little too sweet, but tolerable.
Not among my first choices, but you will not make a mistake if you buy it.
Vanilla, honey, syrup, very sweet and caramel, a little too sweet for my taste but ok
Great notes of caramel and vanilla, I would buy it again, no doubt.
This dominican solera rum have most of the normal traits of a rum distilled from Oliver y Oliver. Although this is on the sweeter side of the spectrum.
Nose: Sweet toffee and vanilla
Taste: Very sweet with dominant notes of toffee and vanilla. A slight hint of cinnamon
Overall: A little to sweet in the long run, but enjoyable in small batches and cocktails.
Superbra till bra pris. Smakar som Cask men utan det där riktiga stinget. Och då inte lika mycket
:-)
nice smell.
Ok Colour.
good taste.
Nice aftertaste.
;-)
Super value for money this is a fabules bottle forthe sweet ones.
Ikke en rom, slår benene væk under mig. Dog bedre end lillebror 12års.
Mindre sprittet og mere og længere eftersmag.
It is much better than 12y, even after opening. Not so alcoholic, much smoother.
Minder meget om sin lillebror på 12 år, men man kan godt smage, den er en smule bedre og knap så sprittet. Men hvis det er muligt at vælge en XO, så gør jeg det.
Pretty nice taste ... Esclavo rums are great. Smoother and sweetet than 12y....
En väldigt trevlig rum. Mycket Sötma, vanilj och kola.
Dejlig rom, måske lidt til den søde side, men med masser af smag af karamel og vanilje.
Denne rom er meget lig sin lillebror på 12 år. Den har lidt mere eftersmag og mere næse, men de to er meget lig hinanden. Det er et væsentligt større spring op til XO'en som dog også koster noget mere.
Fin rom, dejlig og god smag men holder ikke så længe. Esclaco er dog en af min ynglingsmærker efter at have smagt alle 4. Meget det samme som 12 års.
En dejlig rom - men den udvikler sig ikke synderligt meget hvorfor poinet ikke er højere
Sød rom med flot farve og smag af karamel og lidt vanilje
Vi rammer 7,5 i rating her. Duften er fantastisk, en dejlig sødme og en god duft af karamel og chokolade. Jeg vidste jeg kun kunne blive skuffet over smagen efter dette. Smagen er ikke udpræget, en lang og god eftersmag synes jeg ikke rammer og jeg står egentlig tilbage med en følelse af at der mangler noget. Uden tvivl en fin rom i den søde ende, men håbet gik på noget ala Quorhum og dette fik jeg ikke. Udemærket sipper, men ikke mere end det. Jeg må få smagt XOen!
Good overall but a little to much alcohol taste for me
