Oliver & Oliver Opthimus 21 Años

Ein guter Rum mit sehr klaren Aromen. Die Nase ist ganz, wie ein Karamelldessert, mit Gewürzen.Der Mund ähnelt der Nase, recht einfache, aber sehr angenehme Aromen.Insgesamt ein guter Rum, aber es fehlen Watt, Tiefe und Komplexität.

8:On the nose, a succession of flattering, gourmand aromas follow one another: a well-coated fairground praline, buttered caramel, a vanilla bean. The woodiness shines through in this delicacy, necessarily restrained, lending its perfume without making the profile drier. The nuts are greedy too, but the rum remains light and simple, and doesn't seem too greasy, especially as a few mild spices enhance the nose a little. It seems sweet, of course, but tends more towards chocolate than candy. In fact, it is more reminiscent of a chocolate pastry.Aeration gives more room to the nuts, which are dressed in a mixture of caramel, wood, molasses and coffee. We then concentrate more on the woodiness, which is rather finely vanilla-toned, reminiscent of a mild tobacco, resulting in something rather pleasant and well-balanced in the end. 8:The attack on the palate is light and very smooth, and the familiar flavors of caramel and vanilla make this a fairly easy rum to grasp. In the same spirit, we continue with blond tobacco, butterscotch and coconut. The orange and woody notes that follow are almost reminiscent of a Bajan sweet rum. 8:The finish is well-balanced, with all the aromas seen on the palate melting into vanilla and caramelized sweetness.😋

Brussels Rhum Festival 15/03/2025 Nose was promising but way too soft and sweet.

15/03/25: tasted @ Brussels Rhum Festival. Not a fan of this stuff. Reminded me a bit of Vizcaya VXOP. I can see people who like the sweeter style of rums liking this though. I'm certainly not one of them.
