Oliver & Oliver Unhiq XO Unique Malt Rum

Rich in caramel and vanilla, this rum leans noticeably sweet while hinting at complex roasted and nutty depths. One to try if you gravitate towards full-bodied, dessert-like spirits.

    How does this rum taste?

    • A very pleasantly mild rum
    • Aroma and flavor of vanilla
    • Finish is extremely round

    Unhiq XO Unique Malt Rum draws RumX members in with its lush caramel, vanilla, and roasted notes. The nose is often praised for being 'tostato/affumicato con frutti secchi, caramello e un po' di legno' (Émile Shevek), while the palate is described as 'sweet and fruity... with an aroma and flavor of vanilla' (Stefan Persson). Layers of nuts, leather, and oak show up, offering more depth than many expect from a sweeter Spanish-style rum. Some find it flirtatiously complex, with 'extremely ripe fruit bursting with sugar' and lasting roasted coffee. Yet, sweetness is a dividing line—enjoyed by some, a bit too much for others.

    "A little too sweet to get a higher score, but I like it anyway so it will have a place at my Spanish shelf further on. It’s sweet and fruity with an aroma and flavor of vanilla. At the palate and during the medium long finish it’s also somewhat rather complex."

    "Too sweet, I found the 30-year Quorum significantly better. Some rums I can't fully appreciate anymore."

    "I bought this rum recently and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. It literally explodes in your mouth. Though sweet it still manages to be complex and a bit dark. The rum is stated as a 31 year, which is pretty unique. "

    "Mit diesem Rum verbinde ich sehr viel. Ein sehr angenehm milder Rum. Der Alkohol ist super eingebunden. Er ist etwas süßer und hat schöne Karamellnoten. Ich kann den Rum auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen. Update: seit Jahren mal erneut verkostet. Doch etwas süsser als in meiner Erinnerung :D Meiner Meinung eher für Einsteiger geeignet."
