“Sweet, smooth but very sugary rum.”

Ron Esclavo XO 23 Años, distilled by Oliver & Oliver in the Dominican Republic and bottled by 1423 World Class Spirits, combines the essence of molasses distillation and long aging under 23 years. This Spanish-style rum, with an ABV of 42%, entices with aromas of caramel, sweet vanilla, and raisin. Its taste is predominantly sweet with caramel and honey undertones. While praised for smoothness and accessibility, its sweetness is noted by some as overpowering. Suitable for beginners, it evokes a blend typical of Spanish rums but can be found lacking depth. Ideal for those who prefer a sugary profile, Ron Esclavo XO offers a mix of familiar flavors but faces competition from less expensive alternatives.

“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.”
