Ron Esclavo XO Cask

I find that this rum is all sugar and alcohol. Very little complexity in the tasting notes

60% är lite väl starkt men detta är en fashinerande rom, behåll den i munnen ett tag och smakerna tar överhand, blommigt vaniljigt och kola i massor.

Den er stærk, lad den lige dampe af for at kunne nyde den, meget sød. Bestemt et bekendtskab værd.

Man fornemmer slet ikke at den er på 65%, den virker blød og rund i munden og pga. styrken holder smagen længe.
Der er noter af karamel, honning, vanilje og kanel.
Virkelig en rom der skal have en plads i samlingen og pga. styrken er det jo ikke en man drikker flere gals af, den skal nydes ;-) og det bliver den. ;-)

This could chock anyone! strong that it helpes to let it brief before, But to be so strong really goo!

This drink is STRONG... And I am not a fan of those kind of strong things, the taste (in my humble opinion) are slightly warped with such a high procentage... But here it kind of works...

Duft: lækker sød duft. vanilie, røget, blomme, kandis og en lille smule sprit.
Smag: sød og lidt røget i smagen. Karamel og blomme. God lang sød eftersmag

This is a really strong and sweet rum with a big body and long finnish. Really good!

What can I say. I put QRM 30 on the top shelf as my all time favorite, but I think I have to put another one right next to it. The Esclavo XO Cast is pure magic. It literally explodes in your mouth. Distilled by Oliver y Oliver and marketed by Danish based 1423 you can clearly find similarities with QRM as it is very sweet, very rich in both nose and body. But this one attacks all your senses with it's high, but not intrusive alcohol level, rich in butterscotch, dates, sugar cane and it's slightly smoky flavor. The high alcohol rate gives it a certain sharp licorice touch to it. It's INTENSE! The only gripe would be that after tasting this everything, literary everything, taste bland. So don't start with this when you're testing other rums. Finish with it!
It really feels exclusive with the numbering and it won't break the bank for you. A new favorite!

It's an explosion of sweet flavours in the mouth that lingers for ever. The only downside is the sharp hellfire burn on your tounge :-P

Packed with flavour and a wonderfull nose, much like the XO but stronger smell and much stronger alcohol taste!

This 65% rum is the very deffinition of godliness in a bottle. The alcohol % gives you a warm sensation in your mouth and with just a few drops of water tons of different flavors comes to life. This is truly a fantastic rum.

This one has a great aroma and the taste is even better. Even though it's a strong rum the alcohol taste doesn't take over as I expected it to do, instead there's an explosion of of different flavors that makes it very enjoyable. The aftertaste lasts several minutes afterwards.

Wow, a lot of others have already said it all about this rum I think.
Even with a high ABV, its smooth and have a fantastic flawour that stays for a long time in your mouth
I have tride it with some water, but for my taste I think its better as it is.
I can feel tha higher ABV, but that wanich really quickly and then its all taste of rich flawourfull rum with balanced sweetnes

Ron Esclavo XO Cask er XO dobbelt op både på farve, duft og smag - hold da op - (næsten for kraftig) ikke til for store doser ad gangen.

All too strong. Ruins the taste. Some sweetness
10% lighter and it would have ben great.

The color is dark, The taste is thick. The finish hit you like a sledge. If morse rums where like this i would be a happy puppy.

Tykflydende kærlighed som fylder glasset der elegant dufter af diskret karamel! Smager godt, lenge og hele tiden. Procenten er høj, men man merker det ikke. Bedste i samlingen

Her er virkelig en fantastisk rom. Klart den bedste i Esclavo serien.

The high alcohol percentage doesn't feel like too much. Like rest of the Esclavos we're talking sweet rums. A little overpriced at only 50cl a bottle, but you get a quality product and a long lasting taste.

Considering the price, really, really good stuff. The nose is potent with notes of cinnamon, orange chocolate and coffee. The palette is powerfull with the same notes found in the nose alongside sweet, burnt molasse, and a hint of leathery wood. The afterburn is sweet, creamy and spicy. You get alot of the tres hombres: captains choice "expirence" for a fourth of the price. Great buy.

Ok Rum, but not a favorit.
You can taste the family of the Ron Esclavo.
