Für mein 200. Rating eine nette Flasche.

Im Glas schönes rotbraunes Mahagoni mit Kupfer Reflektionen.
In der Nase eine herrliche Tiefe die Dir das Wasser im Munde zusammen laufen lässt. Kandierte Früchte in Vanillesauce, karamellisierte und getoastete Hölzer liegen auf moosig torfiger Erde. Wow, jede Minute und jedes Grad wärmer bringt neue Düfte hervor.
Im Gaumen gleitet eine Armada von Aromen süss (34 gr.) und sanft über die Zunge. Eine ganze Palette von tropischen Früchten wie Banane, Mango, Papaya aber auch weisse Trauben und rote Beeren werden von Karamell und Vanille zart umhüllt. Es sind aber auch herbere Aromen mit im Spiel so wie harziges Holz, angesengte Sägespäne, zart-bittere Schokolade, Waldhonig und frisch geschnittenes Gras.
Im Abgang richtig süss und fast klebrig, herrlich und lang bleibt Karamell und Kakao.
Sicher einer der Besten aus dem Hause O&O und eine Nuance Vielschichtiger als der "Normale" 25-yo. Das Whisky-Fass tut hier wirklich gute Dienste. 9+
Ein absolutes Muss für Süss-Rum Liebhaber, passt sicher Gut zu einer herben Zigarre. 163/1500 2016

For my 200th rating a nice bottle.

In the glass beautiful red-brown mahogany with copper reflections.
In the nose, a wonderful depth that makes your mouth water. Candied fruits in vanilla sauce, caramelized and toasted woods lie on mossy peaty soil. Wow, every minute and every degree warmer brings forth new fragrances.
On the palate, an armada of flavors glides sweet (34 gr.) and gently over the tongue. A whole range of tropical fruits such as banana, mango, papaya but also white grapes and red berries are delicately wrapped in caramel and vanilla. But there are also herbier aromas in the game such as resinous wood, scorched sawdust, tender-bitter chocolate, forest honey and freshly cut grass.
In the finish really sweet and almost sticky, delicious and long remains caramel and cocoa.
Certainly one of the best from O & O and a shade more complex than the "normal" 25-yo. The whiskey barrel is doing really good service here. 9+
An absolute must for sweet-rum lovers, sure to go well with a tart cigar. 163/1500 2016

An excellent rum that is smooth and has a balanced taste. You can feel the difference with the 25 year old Opthimus, this Malt whisky rum one is a little less sweet.

I have both bottles. The normal one and the one that is finished in whiskey barrels. You can really taste the difference. Wonderfully fruity and wood tones. Complex tones in it. Delicious rum!

Not this planet! This is good. No, very good, but no way in Hell is this a 10. Plantation makes a malt whisky finished rum that makes this look like root beer. And it is 10 years younger. Try it!
The nose on this is almost non-existant, even in a snifter or a cairn glass. Yes, I tried both in order to be sure the nose is this pedestrian. Its very, very smooth. Its very balanced but not complex. The finish is horribly short. This is WEAK for a 25 year old rum. COME ON! This finish is short. This is the second time Oliver has let me down. There won't be a third. Dont beleive the hype. Not for $100. Oh yeah, over priced too. There is a lot of better rum out there ladies and gentlemen.

Al naso melassa e caramello, al gusto è delicato e saporito con note di legno, cioccolato, frutti rossi e malto sul finale

Opthimus rums are produced by the famous Dominican distillery Oliver & Oliver. The rums are made using the solera method, with the oldest rums being up to 25 years old. The resulting blend is then aged for several months in Single Malt whisky casks. The rum is bottled at 43% ABV.

Bottle: Nice, exclusive with a strong bottom
Colour: Mahogany

Aroma: A bit more technical with a stronger alcohol note. Slightly sweeter later on. Vanilla, cocoa, honey, walnuts, whisky barrel were recognized in the nose.
Mouth: Dense and full-bodied. Slightly sweet but also woody. On the palate, I smelled cocoa, caramel, tobacco, prunes and apples, whisky.
Aftertaste: Medium.

Summary: A fairly complex rum with a sweetish taste. Compared to Oliver's other rums, it's not as sweet and is a bit more varied in flavour. I recommend letting the rum sit for 10 to 15 minutes before drinking.

Overall rating: 9/10

Přijde mi, že ten čas ve Whiskey sudu kompletně posbíral rumovou ostrost a přidal nikoli třtinovou, ale sladovou sladkost a jemnost. Rozhodně skvělý počin. Pokud by se jednalo o láhev za 1tis., dal bych 10b, ale v kategorii 2tis.+ je u mne 10b hodnocení vyhrazeno pro láhve Foursquare, Centenario a Unhiqum.

Similar body to the 25 port with distinct mellow edge from Malt aging, another very superior rum.

I'm usually not a big fan of mature spanish style rums. They are too sweet and cloying for my taste on average, but this one was actually quite good. Matured on Tomatin whisky casks I've been told, this is obviously round, sweet and full of fruity and caramel flavours, but also plenty of vegetal and spicy notes to keep it interesting.

So so smooth, almost velvety with a peppery finish and almost wine sweetness on taste
