Opthimus 21-Year

8:On the nose, a succession of flattering, gourmand aromas follow one another: a well-coated fairground praline, buttered caramel, a bold (but natural) vanilla bean. The woodiness shines through in this delicacy, necessarily restrained, lending its perfume without making the profile drier. The nuts are greedy too, but the rum remains light and simple, and doesn't seem too greasy, especially as a few mild spices enhance the nose a little. It seems sweet, of course, but tends more towards chocolate than candy. In fact, it is more reminiscent of a chocolate pastry.Aeration gives more room to the nuts, which are dressed in a mixture of caramel, wood, molasses and coffee. We then concentrate more on the woodiness, which is rather finely vanilla-toned, reminiscent of a mild tobacco, resulting in something rather pleasant and well-balanced in the end.
8:The attack on the palate is light and very smooth, and the familiar flavors of caramel and vanilla make this a fairly easy rum to grasp. In the same spirit, we continue with blond tobacco, butterscotch and coconut. The orange and woody notes that follow are almost reminiscent of a sweet rum from Barbados.
8:The finish is well-balanced, with all the aromas seen on the palate melting into vanilla and caramelized sweetness.

Finished this bottle about a week ago but i cant actually rember it properly. so its not good and not bad. but to be honest my expectations were much higher...

So smoother than the 15, but still retains a nice but milder burn. Deeper caramel notes but leans a bit sweeter than my liking so add a point if you’re into that.

Den smager bare dejligt. !

Got one in the shop. Smooth sipper, but nothing special

Nice light caramel color. Smooth caramel notes without much of a burn. I really like this Opthimus.

A rum that needs a bit of getting used to. At first i did not like it that much. But I discovered that you must not drink a soft sweet rum before switching to Opthimus. Makes all the difference.

It is nice with similarities of most Oliver rums medium sweet and nice blended flavours with some oak.
Overall nice quality systema solera rum with very good flavour profile, close to 9, I waiting to taste its older brothers.

- vůně nasládlá, klasický Oliver koření
- chuť jemná, nasládlá
Hodně mi připomínal ve vůni i v chutí Exquisito 1995, jen o ždibek jemnější, Opthimus 38%, Exquisito 1995 40%
