    How does this rum taste?

    • Complex and warming
    • Rich roasted nut aromas
    • Long, intense finish

    The Ron Esclavo XO Cask is a 65% ABV, limited-production rum from the Dominican Republic, distilled by Oliver & Oliver and bottled by 1423 World Class Spirits. Aged 23 years, this rum is known for its intense sweetness and warming roasted nut flavors. Aromas include treacle, caramelized sugar, and toasted notes. While some appreciate its complex, round taste with hints of boozy fineness, others find it overwhelmingly sweet, likening it to "Don Papa on steroids." Ideal for sipping with extended oxidation or using in sweet-leaning cocktails. Both its richness and dominant sweetness elicit varied user opinions.

    "It seems to be extremely sweetened! This sticky sweetness masks almost all the flavors... only roasted nuts and alcohol are still perceptible... I could imagine it in mulled wine"

    "Ordentlich Zucker drin. Wenig Charakter. Hab ihn mit anderen minderwertigen Rum Verschnitten um Cocktails für Gäste zu machen."

    "Al naso caffè, liquirizia, melassa. Gusto tipico solera di cioccolato, caffè, caramello e molto dolce, corposo e alcolico, con note lontane speziate, finale medio e intenso"
