Solera-aged rum from the Dominican Republic from Ron Cubaney, a brand which started out in Cuba (which you might have guessed from the name). However, following post-revolution unrest, the brand moved to the Dominican Republic but retained certain aspects of Cuban rum production.
Demerara sugar, rich sherry and a enjoyably bitter coffee notes.
Seriously, for the price its one of the best rums I have ever tasted. Perfectly balanced sweetness and afterburn.
What a hard find the Cubaney Selecto 18 year really was. It took me over 5 years to find a bottle and now I'm looking forward to trying the last one left, the 25 year old Cubaney's. The 18 year had a very deep flavor profile, similar tobacco flavor as the Pusser's 15y has, but much more mellow. The 18y Cubaney has a very nice and long finish without any burn. Definitely a strong positive surprise and worth the 5 year wait.

Má druhá (a velmi pravděpodobně poslední) exkurse do hájemství pánů Olivera a Olivera. Zjevně s jejich produkcí nejsem kompatibilní - cítím v tom stejně nepříjemný "vanilkový" odstín, jako v Presidente 15. Tady je sice jemnější, ale jeho pozadí ještě nudnější, nebo tu pachuť prostě nestačí přebít. Nikam se to nerozvíjí; na deklarovaných 18 let je to až překvapivě simplexní, výslovně jednopanákové. Nejlepší na tom je nová láhev s docela elegantním designem, číslovaná a podepsaná (viz obrázek). Ale flašku nepiju a její obsah mi - kór za ty prachy - přijde ještě horší než "prezident" revolucionář Martí.
This rum from Oliver was great supprise to me. At that price it is exceptional. Its very smooth, smells oaky and is not that sweet. In taste you can find vanilla and caramel with hints of oak. Really great.
Wow, I love this Rum, full of lovely flavours and suitably sweet, but not overly so, with a very pleasant afterburn. This must be near perfection for this price range, and a damn sight better than some others that cost £10 more. Also a ridiculously cool presentation box and bottle. Just ordered my 2nd bottle. ........ So tempted to give this a 9.
Tasty, spicy, amazing, juicy, flavorful and most importantly very well priced. Definitely a strong 10.
An ok rum with some added sugar. Nothing special about it. It is a solera, so there is a "homeopatic" amount of truly 18 years old rum.
Still... It is a rum. Which is much more, than you can say about many other even more expensive Olivers products.
Veľmi jemný a nie príliš sladký, príjemné pitie. Súhlasím však s tým, že je nudný. Je fajn, ale za tú cenu je to proste málo.
I have the 18 & 25, paid $70.00+ for each. On the nose, slightly nondescript. Very sugary on the front of the tongue. Makes me wonder if any sugar has been added. I’m not educated enough & don’t have a sophisticated palette enough to say with certainty. On the backend, slight caramel with very little burn. This rum is just ok & ok isn’t good enough for my $70.00 USD. Will not make a 2nd purchase.
Well balanced smooth rum.
Plasant aroma with sweet tones of chocolate, molases and fruit.
Taste is sweet and smooth. Tones of honey and oak.
Mild and warm aftertaste.
A lot of flavours in almost perfect balance. Great rum for great price.
This rum represents the key characteristics that should have. It has significant bitter alcohol tail, smooth gentle body and aroma combining sweet tones with wood.
Bij toeval ontdekt. Een heerlijke rum, lekker zoet.
Dejligt og lækker rom. Ikke for sød, let styrke i smagen.
Part of my collection, have to taste it again, but I know that this is a fine rum.
