Ron Esclavo XO Cask

You will smell mainly alcohol due to 65% of content. But in alcohol is dissolved everything good and it is not diluted. After drinking a small sip or just few drops you will not guess 65%. I have drinked just one bottle, so i have tried only one batch but I hope that every batch is little bit different :-) Taste is extremely complex, smooth and strong with long and pleasant tail. You can feel everything you like in rum, but in this complex taste is hard for me differentiate anything dominant. Tail is long with strong flavor.
And price performance ratio is great also ;-)

Couldn't decide whether it should be a 9 or a 10, because I gave the original XO a 9. But I ended up with a toprate, because I'm surprised every time, that it's so smooth, soft and tasty even though it's 65 %. Absolutely brilliant. Worth every cent.

A great rum. One of the best rum I have drank. Very special. A little bit to sweet, sugar added.

Strong and sweet! Hits you looks a slap in the face and a punch in the stomach. Never had anything like it.

This drink is STRONG... And I am not a fan of those kind of strong things, the taste (in my humble opinion) are slightly warped with such a high procentage... But here it kind of works...

Duft: lækker sød duft. vanilie, røget, blomme, kandis og en lille smule sprit.
Smag: sød og lidt røget i smagen. Karamel og blomme. God lang sød eftersmag

Considering the price, ok stuff. The nose is potent with notes of cinnamon, orange, chocolate and coffee. The palette is powerfull with the same notes found in the nose alongside sweet, burnt molasse, and a hint of leathery wood. The afterburn is sweet, creamy and spicy. You get alot of the tres hombres: captains choice "expirence" for a fourth of the price. But ultimately to sweet for me.

Hagyni kell levegőzni, de ha kifújta magát illat és ízorgiával kényeztet. Meglepő módon ekkor már az alkolol sem lóg ki a töménysége ellenére sem. Oliverék nem tudnak mellényúlni... 18 000 forintért találtam akciósan, áldom az eszem, hogy kettőt vettem. :)

Before opening the bottle I was sure that it would be a waste of money. With this high percentage it would burn a hole in my throath...
But was I in for a pleasant surprise, yes the first sip has a little edge but it dissapears super fast and leaves you with the best taste sensation ever. Sweet with a hint of caramel and it last and makes it really special. Its not cheap, but what a great rum to enyoy occasionaly!

Trots sin styrka så är detta en mycket len rom. Jag märker knappt att den är så stark,söt,mycket smak och så gott som ingen spritsmak.
