Cartavio XO

Deep amber color. Pleasant coconut aroma. Slightly sweet. I can smell the alcohol. Very good to me.

Caramel aroma, sweet start, alcoholic body and woody finish

This one is really tasty rum. Long aftertaste, I do like it alot.

Dieser Rum ist sehr gut abgerundet. Man merkt ihm das Alter und seine Reife an. Im positiven Sinne.

Aroma is warm and spiced. Taste is sweet, but not much with chocolate, caramel, toffee and fruits. Well ballanced and complex, ending in longer woody-spced aftertaste. Try it if you can, but for this price, you can find better rums.

Def let it sit for a bit...10min+
Give a little swirl and wow! Smells like dessert! As for the taste, I'm still learning how to get around the alcohol kick. This has a strong alcohol taste upfront. A couple shops sips later I could taste some of the vanilla, caramel, syrup goodness!
I added ice to help take the edge off.

Sweet and smooth with a beautiful long finish. I've tried rum in nice bottles and thought... "they had to put this in a nice bottle to justify the price."

This is a nice rum for those who love Zacapa rum.
It is not balanced like Zacapa XO, but rounder than Zacapa 23.
Smell is a little bit like Zacapa 23 (some herbs, vegetal notes).
It's not very cheap, if you can get a sample of this go for it. I have a whole bottle and was not disappointed .

Smell: dried fruits (raisins), cookies, burnt sugar, caramel, oak, herbs/plants, some barrel/gum
Taste: nice sweetness (caramel), fruit (peach), cookies, burnt sugar, wood, some spice
Finish: short to medium long, sweetness and then cherries in the aftertaste

The Bottle is a great piece of glass, the Rum doe snot live up to the bottle.
However it is a good rum just not great.

Exquisite rum boasting complex flavors of caramel, dark chocolate, and oak. Velvety smooth with a lingering finish.
