There are 2 versions now.... old version (23 years solera) is balance rum in the sweeter side with complecity and well aged in bourbon barrels... taste reminds me Zacapa XO new version but with little bit boost of alcohol-fire taste & caramel-butterscot taste (sweeter) & without zacapa herbs-botanicals. Powerful and sweet! Not for beginners becase it is little bit strong taste of alcohol & wood (bitter) but not really dry it has a lot sweetness but with great balance for my taste. A bit different from other Oliver rums but it has some similarities. A very good sweet rum but it has little more caramel or something for my taste. Dont get me wrong overall it is really great just not my favorite but close...

Second version is solera from 12 to 15 years, double aging bourbon and cognac oak make it smoother less woody-bitter & more complex. Also it is more fruity, spicey with velvet ending! Overal both of them are close with some differences... from one side new version has milder taste & intresting flavour, but from other side old version is little bit more mature & intense! For me both of them are very good with a small edge to old version...

Nose; Sweet, soft but still with a punch. Honey, vanilla, arrack, toffee and different spices. I like whisky too and Ron Esclavo XO makes me think of Kavalan Solist Sherry Cask. Great stuff!
Palate; First. A lovely oiliness. Then caramel, syrup, vanilla, chocolate, honey, tasty oak and arrack. The palate is sweet but the alcohol punch prevents it from beeing too sweet.
Finish; A warming and creamy finish with a touch of coffee.
Overall; Rich and beautiful in every way with an excellent balance. One of my favourites.
