Oliver & Oliver Ron Esclavo XO 23 Años

Round and very sweet, with caramel and vanilla forward. One to try if you enjoy rich, dessert-like spirits.

    How does this rum taste?

    • Angenehm in der Nase mit Schokoladen- und Fruchtnoten
    • well balanced with wood/oak and sweetness
    • Das Mundgefühl ist subliem

    Ron Esclavo XO 23 Años leans heavily into sweetness, with caramel, vanilla, and honey showing up in nearly every glass. RumX members describe it as 'sweet flavors combine with vanilla, honey, caramel' (BTHHo 🥃) and mention 'Karamell, Vanille und Honig' on the palate (heckto🥃). The texture is round and approachable, though some find the sugar content pushing the limits. Others note hints of dried fruit and a gentle spice profile, but the overall impression is a sweet, easy sipper that's well suited to newcomers or those with a soft spot for Spanish-style rums.

    "Much too sweet for me! At the nose it’s round with aromas of vanilla, caramel and cocoa. At the palate and during the medium long finish it’s sweet and round with flavors of vanilla, caramel and chocolate."

    "Retasting this rum and it lost some points compared to the first run. When I first tried this rum I was surprised at what quality you get at this low price. A must try in my mind. The nose is sweet with spices and fruit topped with a hint of coffee and cognac. The palate is well balanced with wood/oak and sweetness from honey, caramel and burnt sugar. Add to that some caramel, chocolate and honey and it's a hit. The finish is medium long, creamy and sweet with a hint of coconut and orange."

    "Leckerer Dom Rep Rum, allerdings etwas zu süß. Absolute Standardaromen, die man von vielen anderen spanischen Rums her kennt. Leider etwas dünn, als Anfängerrum geht es noch klar, aber so günstig ist dieser Rum dann auch nicht. Fazit: gibt günstigere und bessere Rums dieses Stils."

    "Taste: Sweet flavors combine with vanilla, honey, caramel and cinnamon. The extra percentages have given Ron Esclavo XO a little more power to the taste."
