Presidente 23-Year

Well over 1,000 aged dark rums enjoyed and Presidente Marti 23 year from Oliver & Oliver is on my Top 10 list after 15 years of rum tastings. It is superb, so smooth you can't imagine, no burn at all and contains plenty of exciting flavors. If you haven't tried yet this Dominican Republic produced but Cuban inspired 23 year Rum, I will guarantee it will set a brand new benchmark for your personal rum list.

In my opinion the best rum of the Dominican Republic. It complies with all the standards of true Caribbean rum. Well balanced taste, beautiful colour and what I like most about its appearance is the viscosity - I love watching the rum as it trickles on the wall of my glass. Definitely a must-try rum. 95%

Perfect balance between rich body and dim fresh fruity notes

I wasn't expecting to like this as much as I did given its score of only 7.9 (as of this review). I generally rate rums about a point below their consensus rating. But I think this is better than its consensus rating!

It's a little on the sweeter side, but that's one reason I like it. Somewhat simple rather than complex, and a bit syrupy, but very tasty. Smells and tastes of molasses, caramel, marzipan, honey, and oak. Easy to drink straight. A solid "9" in my opinion.

First I thought that it would be some imitation of Diplomatico :)
I didn’t have confidence in this rum, but opposite is true.
Very nice aroma…honey, coffee, wood, little bit fruity.. very nice taste
Perfect rum for sipping, also for rum beginners

Velmi zajímavá kombinace sladkého s hutnými dřevitými tóny. Na konci náznak rozinek.

PM 23 años is one of my favorites, great rum that tastes like dark chocolate, oak and Yess it makes addicted !

Nice color, and great to the nose !
Vanilla, raisins and tobacco taste to this typical Oliver&Oliver rum.
Love it !

After trying the 15 and 19 year it was time for the 23! Just a little better everytime you go more old. All three are very nice and not too much difference price-wise. You can't go wrong with either one. Allthough the 23 is the smoothest. Produced by Oliver&Oliver so prepare for a sweeter rum.

Schönes sattes Bernstein im Glas.
In der Nase überraschend frisch und fruchtig im Hintergrund Noten von getoastetem Holz.
Im Gaumen gesellen sich Aromen von Karamell, von ganz viel Karamell und noch mehr Karamell zu Vanille und Eichenholz.
Im Abgang verbleiben die Aromen von Karamell und Vanille sehr lang.
Etwas gewichtiger als der 15 jährige. Ein typischer süsser O&O Ron für Einsteiger und Geniesser.

Beautiful full amber in the glass.
In the nose surprisingly fresh and fruity in the background notes of toasted wood.
On the palate, flavors of caramel joined by lots of caramel and more caramel to vanilla and oak.
In the finish, the aromas of caramel and vanilla remain very long.
Somewhat more weighty than the 15 year old. A typical sweet O & O Ron for beginners and connoisseurs.
