This rum have a very big issue: I can’t stop!!!
The flavor is unique: aromas of wood and an excellent distillate, a lot of care is perceived in the process and it is an enyoing experience at an excellent price

Med 38% virker den lidt tyndere end både Malt whisky og Port finish, der begge er på 43%. Men den smager stadig godt.

Eerst vond ik de houtsmaak wat overheersend maar na een paar glaasjes ben ik deze rum echt beginnen waarderen, een toppertje.

Very good as i expected... Not best choice for beginners but also not for very hardcore drinkers. It is medium sweet and very close to Quorhum 30, but little more fruity and little less oak, orange peel & pepper. They are about similar, just slightly different and its about personal preference (for me Quorhum 30 is a bit better and for the price-quality is the most unbeatable rum!!
Voor de prijs en leeftijd meer van verwacht. Zeker geen slechte rum mischien gewoon niet mijn smaak. Maar voor dit geld (iets minder) liever de plantation xo 20th anniversary.

Smooth and rich. Typically Dominican but a bit less oaky than the XO and a bit more leather. Lovely.

Very smooth rum with flavors of caramel, baked bananas and dry fruit. The rum is not to sweet and is a little bit sticky in the mouth. Very decent rum.

Oliver y Oliver don’t distil their own rum but, according to them, acquire selected ultra fine alcohol from the best distilleries in Panama, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Trinidad and Tobago and other distilleries from the French and Caribbean islands. They age, blend the different rums to be matured in Tempanillo and Bourbon barrels using the traditional Solera Method.
I was surprised to learn that they have a considerable product range. This includes the brands of Quorhum, Cubaney, Presedencial. The Opthimus range is apparently their higher quality rum.
The Opthimus range comes in a wide variety of solera ages (12, 15, 18, ,21 and 25) and also two additional finishes for the 25 year old (malt Whisky & oPorto)
I picked up the standard 25 year old. The rum comes in an unassuming chunky bottle with a written bottling series number and year which is a nice touch. Suprised to see that it isbottled at only 38% abv.
A dark mahogany brown color. Sweet smells of caramel, dark fruit, vanilla. The taste is again very sweet and similar to the nose but not lots of complexity. Good long finish with a bit of dry oak. Very morish though.
A bit pricey for an under proofed solera rum. However it does make for a very tasty and easy drinking solera rum
