Tres Hombres Oliver & Oliver Ed. 015 Captains Choice XVIII 2016
Roasted, chocolatey and heavy on vanilla-toffee, this is a classic Spanish-style O&O bottled at a hefty 66.6%. Most tasters reach for a drop of water to tame the heat and open up the spice, coffee and burnt-sugar notes. Several find real elegance here, though a couple call it one-note and note obvious sugar riding over the top.
The community says- Roasty chocolate-coffee
- Strong vanilla note
- Reads sweetened

How does Tres Hombres Oliver & Oliver Ed. 015 Captains Choice XVIII 2016 taste?
Aggregated from 20 community reviews.
Roasty, sweet Spanish-style sipper at high proof Well-liked as a rounded, roasty Spanish-style sipper — but the high proof needs water and a few tasters find the sweetness one-dimensional and infused-tasting.

Had two tastings this weekend and Très Hombres was the first one. This rum kicks just the right places and I needed a drop of water to release more flavours. The oak is only there in the background, but I like that on this powerful rum. Spices, chocolate and coffee are more in the center. Lovely rum and very rare i found out.

I feel a lot of sugar and infusion in the rum. For 98%.
Review by Tim
Mein erster hochprozentiger O&O, der aber ohne große Überraschungen daherkommt und sehr stark auf der röstigen und schokoladigen Seite liegt. Man riecht die typischen Aromen eines spanischen Rums, was auch diesen Rum zu einem runden und eleganten Erlebnis macht. Im Mund röstig, würzig und bittersüß. Im Abgang dann etwas mehr Frucht, ansonsten nichts neues. Die knapp 65% sind definitv spürbar, es sollte meiner Meinung nach etwas Wasser hinzugegeben werden.
Review by mto75
Very drinkable and delicious 😋 Vanilla notes and oak on the nose, creamy on the palate, toffee. A few drops of water take away the alcoholic sharpness.
Review by Peter Sjoroos
Close to perfection! It goes on and on.
Review by Mentalo
Alcohol needs a lot of time. Again the sweetness that masks a lot. But an outstanding vanilla note in the nose and on the palate. But that's about it. Like many wines from this area, it remains quite one-dimensional. But it's still a good representative of the Spanish style in my eyes.

Jäkligt god. Mer alokohol. Eken slår igenom.
