Ron Esclavo XO Cask

Whoa! Super sweet, super sharp, the alcohol makes the sweetness seek in to every crevis of the mouth. Awesome!

Full bodied, sharp smell, incredible explosion of taste in your mouth. Sip slowly as 65% is really something. Looooong warm finish.

Epic, tasty, spicy, amazing, juicy, flavorful and most importantly very well priced. Definitely a strong 10.

Virkelig en god rom er altid på min hylde kraftig og godt med sødme og så lige et spark bag i med alkoholprocenten

I've always liked rum, but after I tried this one about a year ago I got stuck and my interest for rum grew a whole lot! This Is why it's one of my favorites. Really sweet and roasty vanilla smell, with a strong nice taste of caramel, vanilla, dried fruit and more. As it's 65% abv you do best to let it breath before drinking, and take small sips. The sugarlevel and abv makes the taste spread around in your whole mouth and last long even with the smallest of sips. 10/10 for me!

Powerful, sweet, spicy! Explosion of taste in the mouth that lasts forever! Even for people that don't like really sweet and strong rum's (this one has a high 65%), you will like this one!

Eine unglaubliche Geschmacksexplosion im Mund. Den hohen Alk-Anteil nimmt man deutlich wahr

Fryser man tungen skal denne nok få den varm igen. En behagelig sødme, men tror det med stærke rom 65% er endnu en ting man skal lære at drikke, før man sætter rigtig pris på det.

This is a powerful rum, bold, very strong and rich in flavor. Despite it's 65% alcohol level it's still possible to drink straight and I really enjoy it. My current favorite by far.

This is brutal bit I say wow!! Awesome flavours, nice color and a taste that lasts a long time.

Car j’espere Trouver mieux encore! Mais quelle découverte! Le nez, la bouche , l’apres... tout est au top. Je recommande chaudement

První rum, kterému dávám hodnocení 10/10. Dánský zabiják si určitě toto hodnocení zaslouží. Ze zkušenosti vím, že stačí málo a zažijete hodně. Každá sklenička je lepší a lepší a vás i přesto, že obsah alkoholu je 65% nutí přemýšlet, zda li si nevychutnat ještě jednu skleničku. Zakoupil jsme v tmavé lahvi, která je velice originální.

We all have that one rum, which got us hooked on the juice. For me it is this one. Someone once described the feeling of drinking this perfectly to me. It is like being cradled by your mother and punched by your big brother at the same time. Smooth, sweet and powerful at the same time.

Nose: Burnt sugar, vanilla and molasses
Taste: (Almost too) sweet with hints of caramel, vanilla and coffee and then a swift kick to the tastebuds by the 65abv. Long and warm aftertaste.
Overall: I love this rum. It is maybe a bit too sweet for my normal liking, but the alcohol level makes up for that and creates a fantastic experience.

Testé au RhumFest Paris , vraiment très fort à la première gorgée mais la suite est une explosion de saveurs ! ! !

Bra smak och styrka sitter kvar i gommen har provat flera batchar här blir man inte besviken

Krydret rom med laaaang eftersmag. Selv om den holder 65 %, er den stadig rund

All I can say is wow, what an amazing rum. Truly a masterpiece! After well over 1,900 aged rums later, what an amazing find and what a big surprise. Ron Esclavo XO Cask Strength comes from the Oliver & Oliver group, so that does not surprise me a bit since most of their rums are simply stunning. The Ron Esclavo XO Cask Strength comes in a black clay bottle, handwritten label, it has a very deep color, surprisingly strong alcohol to the nose from being 130 Proof. Cask Strength differs greatly from the Esclavo XO in a sense that Cask Strength is all about chocolate whereas XO is all about coffee. The Cask Strength does not have any burn at all at the end which is very surprising taking into consideration its 130 Proof. This rum goes directly to my top 2 spot after well over 1,000 rums later. Stunning. Masterpiece.

Great taste experience, so much flavor, so much strength. Vanilla, nougat, buttercup and caramel with cinnamon and honey slightly spicy o musty aftertaste, dominated by oak and candy.

Helt underbart god rom. Smakerna bara explodera i munnen

My first 10/10. Had another really cool 65% blend just before this which was amazing but when I got this I was blown away by the explosion of taste. So much vanilla, caramel, syrupy molasses, honey, oak, bourbon, fruit. Body is superthick and oily, lingers for a really long time. Drinking this put a huge smile on my face.

Jag uppskattade Ron Esclavo XO men undrar om inte denna är bättre? Den når inte upp till 10 men bra nära. Blir väldigt len med lite vatten.

En rom der kan anbefales.
Den første gang jeg smagte den viste jeg ikke at den var på 65%, så den første tår forsvandt i munden, men den efterlod en eksplosion af smag.
En rom fra Danmark som vi kan være stolte af.

Woche, was für ein Rum. superlecker.........in Fassstärke......was für Genießer......und man hat noch eine mInute nach dem Genuss...Genuss

Ron Esclavo Solera XO Cask Strength 65% er en opfølgning på den meget roste og populære Ron Esclavo XO
