Vanilla, caramel and raisin meet woody spice and gentle sweetness; reviewers enjoy it neat. Some note a sharper or shorter finish, but overall it’s a mellow, oak-led pour.

    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members highlight its vanilla-and-oak core with caramel, raisin and woody spice. Often described as mellow and slightly sweet, it works well neat as a dessert-style sipper. Some mention bourbon-vanilla tones and a long, balanced aftertaste; others find the finish shorter or a bit sharp and the sweetness notable. A limited release of 1500 bottles, and with 49 reviews on RumX, it’s a rising community favorite.

    This is the oldest of the Exquisito blends. It has a lot of taste from the cask and that makes it a really good rum though it's a little bit out of balance. Not your typical Oliver &. Oliver in my mind.

    Apple-cinnamon, raisin, orange, brown sugar, chili pepper and caramel. Underrated in my opinion.

    Yes, this Oliver & Oliver is quite okay. It's a rather sweet rum, but still within reason. Vanilla and caramel on the nose. Then also slightly sweet on the palate. Also vanilla and caramel, but also slightly spicy and woody.

    Nice round rum and not as sweet and pasty as many others from the house. The complexity for the price range can also be seen. Absolute recommendation for all who like mild southern rum
