Oliver & Oliver Ron Esclavo XO Cask 2016
Highly praised as an intense, syrupy, dessert-style cask strength with well-integrated alcohol and loads of caramel, vanilla and dried fruit. A focused, sweet powerhouse that many find remarkably smooth for 65%.
Those who enjoy very sweet, liqueur-like rums at high strength and want a rich, sticky caramel-vanilla sipper with big flavor and low perceived burn.

Anyone avoiding added sugar, drinkers sensitive to 65% ABV, and rum fans who prefer dry, unsweetened or funky styles over liqueur-leaning profiles.

Amazingly mild for 65% alc., wonderfully integrated
Extremely sweet, extremely poorly integrated alcohol and just totally incongruous. 🤦🏼♂️
Quite a classic aroma for a bourbon-fired solera. Well-integrated alcohol, fairly thick, lots of aroma, a note of vanilla, wood and candied fruit, quite strong on the finish. A very fine discovery.
