Opthimus Port Finish 25-Year

I'm thrilled that I have a chance to review Opthimus 25 Oporto by @opthimusrum_usa . In the glass it has a deep, dark rust color and thick sticky legs that coat the glass. The nose is full of deep scents of tobacco, leather, wood and a hint of grapes. There is no sense of astringency. This rum is thick and coats the tongue, while tickling the #umami flavor receptors and skipping over the sweet, salty, and sour receptors. At first I sense some burnt caramel and wood. After swallowing, the long finish pops with hints of port wine and leather. There is no heat on the way down, but the flavor lasts until the next dram. A wonderful rum.

Well I was in LA LA land with the Opthimus 25 year Whiskey finish, probably my favorite rum currently, great bang for your buck. I could not wait to buy the Oporto finish. Well it is good but not nearly as good as the Whiskey finish. However, after sitting a bit it took over the Whiskeys standing.
A bit sweet but not overwhelming. You can taste the Port and it has a long finish which is really important to me being the Rum Snob I claim to wanna be. Bang for your buck at $100ish it is worth the money spent. Get U some uh DAT!

This is very very good! The aftertaste of port is remarkable, and comes forward a lot more than its the case for the 15 y version. Which really suits it! Still sweet, but has a lot more character.

After trying Opthimus 25 year and rating it a well deserved 10 I decided to try another offering from Oliver. Side by side they are very close. Both have excellent aromas, both are smooth, sweet, and flavorful. I don’t think the port finish does anything that makes this worth the extra price. I thoroughly enjoyed the regular 25 year and still rate it above this one and like it better. But make no mistake, this is truly a remarkable rum. Everyone should have a try.

Out of everything I have tried, nothing could top this Opthimus. So much aroma, flavor, smoothness with a nice port finish. The label does not lie. It was everything I had hoped it was.

The taste of Porto is definitely prominent. Exquisite rum for sipping.

It's missing a little bit of character to reach a 10.

2017 Bottle 57/1000

Er helt klart min ynglings ROM har prøvet prøvet denne i flere udgaver denne er helt klart den bedste

I had this alongside their whiskey aged rum, and their regular 25 and 21 year rums. I liked this better than the whiskey aged, but not as much as their regular 25 and 21 year rums.

Tastes and smells of honey, sweet molasses, oak, and port. A very nice rum indeed! I rate it a low '9'.

My favorite Port Rum to date is the Foursquare Port Cask Finish, which costs less than half as much.

Sugar: 17 GPL. I was saving this rum for my 100th rating review and it is a winner for sure! The taste profile is somewhere between the Diplomatico Single Vintage 2000 and the Rum Nation Panama 21. The major difference is that this rum is not as sweet as the other 2 rums mentioned. The effect of aging in the port cask with this rum is that it has a trace of cherry to it in the aroma and the taste. It has a nice long after burn. If you like Port and Rum then this is a must have rum. Looking forward to finding and tasting the other 25 year old blends put out by Opthimus.

Strong and complex port finish with a nice sweetness that follows. Not a lot of oak and a great nose. Definitely one of my favorite rums. Getting hard to find at less than $100 a bottle.

Rum tasting in Skopje Macedonia continued with Opthimus 25y Port Finish. Pretty nice bottle and label design. Mahogany color. Strong Port Wine mixed with plenty of raisins and mild oak to your nose and palate when neat sipped. Sweet and very short burn at the end.

DR rum- Sweetwr than I expected with a very smooth mouthfeel. The port barrel finishing gives it rich, dark notes with fruits and raisins. A compounding of unique flavors.

Mycket kropp, trä, tobak, läder. Söta port toner och torkade frukt. Bränd karamell. Omslutande i munnen och långt avslut.

Similar to Dos Maderas Luxus but not as strong in cherry, a bit too sweet AND simultaneously a bit heavy on the wood, almost overaged. Extremely good nonetheless.

Köpte på mig ett gäng samples och opthimus 25-Year Port Finish var en av de. Färgen ser lite kopparröd ut. Doftar fruktigt till en början. Första sippen var väldigt mjuk och fin. Porter smaken kommer sedan tydligt i eftersmaken på ett trevligt sett. Efter en stund i glaset känner man även där porter. Känner kanske lite kanel, fikon. Den är söt men också torr, först söt och sedan torr i eftersmaken och en touch av porter. Mycket trevlig rom, mjuk på ett väldigt härligt sett, lätt drucken. 8/10

Este ron es muy rico, con color caoba muy llamativo; de aromas frutados ligeramente y menor dulzor. El sabor es muy bueno, sin embargo tiene menos dulzor que el Malt Whiskey Finish, y con ligeros matices de frutas. Sin duda es un muy buen ron, pero no es el mejor de sus hermanos.

Une vraie surprise! D'une longueur impressionnante! Un vrai délice!

Un vrai délice en bouche! Ce rhum est d'une longueur en bouche vraiment impressionnante! Très différent du 15 ans! Un bonheur!

But still an amazing rum. I had the chance to compare those two. The port finish is a bit more fruity... the whiskey adds more character with the hint of a smokey whiskey...

C'est du très bon rhum. Agreable en bouche. Parfum d'écorce, d'encens épatant.

Je suis unanime et ma femme également, ce rhum est le meilleur que nous avons pu déguster ici et là. Une odeur boisée, des arômes à tomber et une douceur en bouche. Si ce n'est pas le paradis on s'en approche. Un must have pour tout amateur pouvant se le permettre!!
