Review by Joachim Guger
It does not smell bad at all, but in the mouth thin and stale. Guest rum.
Review by Godspeed
Excellent. Great example of DR as one of the really good places to find quality spanish style rum.
Review by TheJackDrop
Good good good Not much to say it's not bad, it's finer, balanced, not too sweet. Now, apart from vanilla and a few bonus notes, there's not much, and above all the finish is ultra-short.

Comme souvent avec les ron je trouve cela assez plat
Review by Tim
Typical sweet representative from the Dom Rep. Nothing special, but very round. A little spicy in the mouth, but mainly sweet. There are many other vintages in the Opthimus range, but I don't expect any major differences. I'm beginning to wonder what the difference is between the ranges (Opthimus, Quorhum...) of O&O anyway: probably none and pure sales strategy.

Kräftig und stark, aber nicht mein Geschmack
Review by David
Très doux, sans être trop sucré, aromatique et Bonne longueur
Review by Hans-Peter Jank
Smells good, but the taste is not convincing. A little too expensive.
Review by Kieron Wood
A decent rum that is OK on the pallet... Not depths of flavour but a gentle spice which is nice in the aftertaste....
