Good molasses rum, the tangerine taste is unique. It needs a long time in the glas, you can not stick you nose in it immediately.
There is first some molasses in the nose, but after 5min it disappears.
It's sweet and a little bit spicy. Burned sugar with spice is a very intensive flavour.
This aroma combination is almost too spicy for me.
It's rich and intensive, but the sweetness goes up because of the spice. I would prefer less spicy or less sweet version of it.
The mandarine and px sherry taste is very nice. I get an imagination of drinking a PX Sherry (my last PX sherry was a very good and old one).

Profile: mandarine, burned sugar, px sherry

Smell: first some molasses for 5min with steel, caramel, herbs (like in Zacapa rums), burned sugar, dry fruits, mandarine in the background, oak/barrel (earth), some sherry
Taste: mandaaaarrriiine with caramel (this is a very long lasting mandarine), burned sugar, caramel
Middle: caramel, again mandarine, again burned sugar (some bitterness or mandarine peels)
Finish: long, spicy, maaaandaaaaarine, caramel, spice, px sherry
Aftertaste: px sherry and mandarine (do they used PX casks? nice)

Sweetness: 4/5
Fruit: 23/5
Spice: 3/5
Mildness: 4/5
Intensity: 4/5
Value (50€): 4/5
Experience level: professional

Really interesting rum. It has an amazing odor. It sends you in direction of something really sweet and nice. Touch of orange and sweetness. The taste is nice and sweet. It is a little strong in the after taste - in a great way. Recommended for the experienced rum taster.

Här snackar vi rom.
Vilken arom och smaken, den är helt utsökt, och blir inte avskräckt av vol. % den är på 65 vol. % men det märks varken på arom eller smak eftersom den har fått mognats och lagrats väl.

Dette er en fantastisk blød og behagelig rom, der smager super godt. meget tæt på en 10´er.

Vanilla and brown sugar, with a slight alcohol burn.
Oliver & Oliver taste, but not too strong.
Nice rum.

Awesome dominican rum! Not the smoothest one, but still very smooth. Not the sweetest one but still sweet one. Close to perfection.

Sampled Ron Esclavo XO rum as part of my Rum Advent calendar. I expected this rum to be very sweet based on my own research and it is, indeed, very very sweet, to the point where the flavors of the rum are hardly noticeable. Those who prefer sweetened rum will definitely enjoy this one but for me it hardly qualifies as a rum.

Smooth and neat rum with rastes of vanilla and honey.

Something that is needed at home

Sweet, caramel taste. Slightly too harsh and too short. The base is there, but it doesn't fully come to life
