Ein weiteres Meisterstück aus dem Hause Oliver & Oliver
Schönes dunkles Bernstein im Glas, wie Waldhonig.
In der Nase, wie in heisses Karamell getauchte dunkel geröstete Hölzer mit Pflaumen und Zimt garniert.
Im Gaumen, ganz weich, süss und rund, ein wenig Solera typisch, dennoch sehr interessant. Die Zunge wird vom Holz und Karamell umschmeichelt. Aromen von Toffee, dunkle Schokolade, dunkles Steinobst und dunkle Gewürze gesellen sich harmonisch dazu.
Im Abgang, klebriges Karamell am Holz, das mich schon seit Anfang begleitet. Lecker und langanhaltend.
Ein typischer O&O Ron wie z.B. Opthimus oder Quorhum, daher Wertung nur 8.75
Für Einsteiger und Geniesser.

Edit: Dezember 2020: Neue Aufmachung, sehr elegant und top modisch.
Sattes Bernstein mit Mahagonistich im Glas.
In der Nase sehr harte Holznoten, etwas Früchte und Karamell.
Am Gaumen warm, süss und weich, Schokolade mit Karamell, Fruchtstückchen und ein paar Holzschnipseln.
Im Abgang Frucht, Karamell, Kakao und eine ganz leichte Bitterkeit.
Keine 1:1 Verkostung, habe aber die alte Version vollmundiger in Erinnerung. 7.5

Another masterpiece from Oliver & Oliver
Beautiful dark amber in glass, like forest honey.
In the nose, as in hot caramel dipped dark roasted wood with prunes and cinnamon garnished.
The palate, very soft, sweet and round, a little Solera typical, yet very interesting. The tongue is caressed by the wood and caramel. Aromas of toffee, dark chocolate, dark stone fruit and dark spices join in harmoniously.
In the finish, sticky caramel on the wood, which accompanied me since the beginning. Tasty and long lasting.
A typical O & O Ron like Opthimus or Quorhum, therefore rating only 8.75
For beginners and connoisseurs.

Edit: December 2020: New presentation, very elegant and top fashionable.
Rich amber with mahogany tinge in the glass.
Very hard wood notes on the nose, some fruit and caramel.
Warm, sweet and smooth on the palate, chocolate with caramel, bits of fruit and a few snippets of wood.
Finishes with fruit, caramel, cocoa and a very slight bitterness.
Not a 1:1 tasting, but remember the old version being more full-bodied. 7.5

Silky smooth rum with a creamy aftertaste. Slightly harsh smell right after pouring, but it gets better after a while. A new favourite!

Mycket god söt rom med inslag av vanilj och karamel. Prisvärd

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

One of the rums that is always present in my collection. And that for a reason!

Denna flaskas största egenskap är balansen mellan söt och spritstyrka.
Den visar lite ”muskler” utan att bli spritig, de gör de flesta Esclavo och gör dem lite ensamma. En bra rom att ha brevid många andra i skåpet och denna ger avsevärd skillnad när man har provning. Rekommenderas.

A little bit too sweet for me. But it has nice full body and tasteful.
I think it is good rum for after dinner.

A very nice mix of vanilla and oak with a strong finish.
The rum is a great value for the money.
