This is my favorite Opthimus to date. Kind of similar to the 25 year, but with more oak and spice. Also has a nice hint of whisky, which is not overpowering. Very nicely sweet.

Has a sweet honey nose, with caramel, oak, spice, and whisky.

Easy drinking at only 38%abv. A GREAT rum!

A bit of sticky alcohol in the beginning but after a while you can smell nice sweet aromas of toffee and vanilla. You also get some almond and oak.

In mouth you can taste fruit, spice and oak. Too much oak for my taste. The aftertaste is long with lot´s of oak.

This very smooth and drinkable rum cost me the fortune of 50 USD... a true bargain which I shared with my brother-in-law in a hottub overlooking the Atlantic from the rth coast of the DR. It is slightly sweet, wit vanilla and oak as it's main flavours. Absolutely no burn.

The color is awesome.. The scent is great. Dark, folowing the color.. Hints of oak and honey.. In the mouth it´s thick and starts to jolt the buds.. The finish is strong and hits you like a brick with different notes.. It takes a few sips to figure them out,, It´s a great rum. But not for me.. Someone who like the oaks notes will probably love it..

That was new and great experience for me. I learned a lot about rum history and production (solera method), people who work at the distillery and, of course, something new about rum.
We had four sorts for degustation.
Punta Cana XOX
Opthimus XO
Unhiq XO
Cubaney Centenario
They all are smooth, great taste, unique sorts sharing common Dominican cane\soil\roots.
All has intriguing aroma, vanilla and fruits on palate, a bit woody. Definitely in sweet league. All sorts have long pleasant aftertaste.
The devil was in nuances )
(I think person next to me (beer drinker) did not detect any differences. For me that was more or less obvious).
So (AFAIR, one week later)...
1st was Punta Cana: super fruity, oily, likely most smooth.
2nd Opthimus: dark chocolate notes, with little alcohol kick on palate.
3rd Unhiq: the little kick on lips, rich and longest aftertaste.
Finally Cubaney: most woody and most of tobacco notes, less sweet.
All of them (classic solera) - must try for the rum connoisseur.

Il est de couleur dorée. Au nez, on sent déjà le miel, la vanille et son côté boisé. Bouche; Il est doux, La vanille est présente, le caramel, le café et le chocolat noir avec des notes de bois fumé. Une belle finesse et une finale gourmande et moelleuse.

Rhum rond et raffiné. Rond doux et sucré. Sur le caramel. Facile a boire. Meilleur que le 18 ans, mais moins que le 25ans.
