Rum Opthimus 18 comes from the Dominican Republic. There, Cuban masters took care of its aging. It was aged using the Solera system in ex-sherry oak barrels from rums aged up to 18 years. The recipe for this rum has been passed down from generation to generation for several decades. It is bottled at an alcohol volume of 38%. This results in a very delicious and smooth rum.
The rum is created through traditional international collaboration: it is distilled by Cuban masters in the Dominican Republic - Oliver & Oliver - a family company of Cuban origin. Their philosophy lies in crafting rums with intensity and elegance – each blend is carefully crafted, and many are limited editions representing generations of rums.
Rum 18 Sistema Solera is acclaimed and has received over 200 international awards including the President's Trophy at the New York International Spirits Competition, Rum of the Year in Madrid, Top 10 at the Beverage Tasting Institute, and more.
The aroma of the rum is rich and complex, with notes of oak, sherry, cane caramel, spices, vanilla, chocolate, and subtle floral and herbal nuances. The taste is full, spicy, and yet smooth – hints of dried fruit, chocolate, vanilla, caramel, and delicate herbal depth emerge. The finish is long-lasting, harmonious, and balanced between sweetness, spice, and oak aftertaste.
An ideal rum to enjoy on its own — in a glass during quiet contemplation, after a meal, or as an exclusive gift for a connoisseur.
