Millonario XO

By far the sweetest rums I've had along with their other lower tier rum. I like sweet rums and this is a good one but I can't help wanting a little more from it. It doesn't offer much on the nose but dive into it and you will be rewarded with Christmas pudding, toffee, vanilla bean and spice. There is no burn, little warmth and no sharpness. Just sweet, silky and almost liqueur like velvety sweetness. For me if it was bottled at say 43% it just might have a little more balance. Still deserves a place on your shelf though.

Supurb rum but a bit pricey. Sweet & tastefull tasted on several occasions

Kræftig smag som mærkes med det samme den kommer i munden

sladsi, podobny mladsiemu 15y bratovi. velmi pitny rum :-)

Rock solid rum. Very smooth, well balanced. Quite a difference from the 15 year one

Nose: Smells old. Leather, cigar boxes and incense (sandalwood, cedar, pot-pourri). Oak, thick caramel and butterscotch. Woody baking spices; nutmeg, clove, cinnamon as well as some vanilla and dried fruits.

Palate: Medium mouth feel. Ok this doesn't taste at all as I was expecting, it tastes a lot drier and almost cognac like. Lots of oak and vanilla, plumes of sweet cigar smoke and aromatic pipe tobacco. Dark winter fruits like figs, prunes and raisins. Some caramel pops up, but it's distant and quite restrained. Very complex and it's not a thick, heavy rum.

Finish: Medium. Now the sugar is making it's play, it's flattening the finish and leaving that fuzzy feel on my tongue. Still, the finish is still pleasant with some spice and oak prickle and a lovely smoky note, with some thinned golden syrup.

The smell does not impress me very much, I do not get much of anything other than straight alcohol smell. The taste however is much better. Slightly sweet but not overpowering, surprisingly smooth, the taste reminds me of El Dorado 21, however not quite as good. overall El Dorado 21 is better because it smells better. However, this is almost on par with Diplomatico exclusiva, but not as good because of the lack of pleasant smell.

Morbido, delicato, interessante, con note lievemente caramellate tipiche solera

After reading the reviews here I have bought one of the last bottle in my preferred shop... and, well, maybe because it was stored for a very long time in a place with some sunlight, maybe because I was expecting too much, but well for now I rate this XO just a little bit above 6/10. I will give it a second try to see if something's changed after the opening.
UPDATE: after a couple of days this has changed a bit. maybe needed some air after so long time. better now, not my favourite but definitely enjoyable. I have updated my rating to 7/10. will try again in a month.

This rum is very good, mid to high 7s. It has depth, complex notes, and sips smoothly. I have nothing negative to say about this great rum. But compared to comparable rums it is slightly over rated.
