A newcomer-friendly Dominican solera rum: ultra-smooth, low-ABV and very sweet. Expect honey, caramel and chocolate with light wood. RumX members see it as an easy first sipper or mixer, not a complex contemplative pour.

The look inside the bottle
How does Oliver & Oliver Opthimus 25 Años 2015 taste?
Aggregated from 9 community reviews.
Soft, very sweet beginner sipper Very sweet, silky and extremely easy to drink. Community sees it as a soft, honeyed beginner rum with light wood notes, but lacking depth and not justifying its “25 años” price image.
Those who prefer smooth, very sweet sippers and want an undemanding first “aged” rum that goes down easily neat or with cola.
Anyone avoiding sugary profiles, seeking dry or complex rums, or fans of high-ABV, cask-strength bottlings.

Review by Ailix Toutatis
Un rhum féminin. Hyper facile à boire. Sucré (trop ?) et suave qui est parfait pour faire découvrir le rhum à des novices en spiritueux et alcools fort tant il est facile à boire. Malheureusement, l’attaque comme la longueur ne sont pas au rdv. Les amateurs de bdf seront forcément déçus par ce liquoreux.
Review by Tobin
Vielsagend nichtssagenden... sehr mild und einsteigerfreundlich, lässt auch jegliche Komplexität vermissen. ABER: kein schlechter Rum. Nur rechtfertigt er seinen Preis keinesfalls.
Review by Vincent D
Très plat. Un peu de bois. Beaucoup de sucre.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
An almost too sweet rum for my palate, but still has some surprises up the sleeve. Definitely a rum that beginners might like and the price tag is not too high.
Review by Steffmaus🇩🇰
A rum I tasted in maybe 2019. This is a very sweet solera rum. I can hardly find whisky hints in the nose of it, but I got honey, fruits and a sweetness. In the notes I found cinnamon, vanilla and some spice.
