There are 2 versions now.... old version (23 years solera) is balance rum in the sweeter side with complecity and well aged in bourbon barrels... taste reminds me Zacapa XO new version but with little bit boost of alcohol-fire taste & caramel-butterscot taste (sweeter) & without zacapa herbs-botanicals. Powerful and sweet! Not for beginners becase it is little bit strong taste of alcohol & wood (bitter) but not really dry it has a lot sweetness but with great balance for my taste. A bit different from other Oliver rums but it has some similarities. A very good sweet rum but it has little more caramel or something for my taste. Dont get me wrong overall it is really great just not my favorite but close...

Second version is solera from 12 to 15 years, double aging bourbon and cognac oak make it smoother less woody-bitter & more complex. Also it is more fruity, spicey with velvet ending! Overal both of them are close with some differences... from one side new version has milder taste & intresting flavour, but from other side old version is little bit more mature & intense! For me both of them are very good with a small edge to old version...

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.
