Oskar Davidsen & Co Davidsen's XO 15 Black Label
Sipped neat, this pours on sweet and soft: raisin, prune, caramel and toffee with a clear Jamaican estery nose that most people spot right away. It's a dried-fruit-heavy, almost liqueur-like pour. The sweetness is the whole story — one taster called it "Jägermeister kind of sweet," and it can flatten the rest. Some love that; sugar-avoiders won't.
The community says- Jamaican estery nose
- Dried fruit, caramel
- But: Added sugar

Aggregated from 76 community reviews.
Very sweet, dried-fruit Jamaican sipper People like it for the price and the fruity Jamaican nose, but nearly everyone lands on the same word: sweet. For some it's cozy; for others the sugar buries the rum.

Review by heckto🥃
This rum smells of caramel, plum, and apricot. On the palate, woody notes, tropical fruits, and toffee. The finish leaves a roasted aroma. A well-balanced sweet rum that clearly shows its Jamaican origin.

Zufallskauf! Einfach bestellt. Toller süßer Geschmack, mit vielen fruchtigen Noten. Mir gefällt und schmeckt er seht gut. Ich stehe offensichtlich auf süße Rums. Einfach lecker!

Nicht mein Fall, viel zu süß. Die Zuckersüße überdeckt beinahe den kompletten Geschmack.

Review by nick_nick1
Sehr süß und vollmundig. Etwas schärfer aber völlig ok. Langer voller Abgang. Sollte in der Sammlung nicht fehlen
Review by Lutz Lungershausen
05.2024 Erster Eindruck: weich, fruchtig, süß, sehr aromatisch Nase: ein Korb voller Trockenfrüchte, Karamell und Toffee Gaumen: Früchte, Beeren, Gebäck, gerösteter Zucker, ordentlich süß Abgang: warm, mittellang, sehr angenehmer Nachklang, Kaffee- und leichte Röstaromen Gesamteindruck: für Mixer hat er zu wenig Power, daher zum pur Sippen, auch wenn hier offensichtlich gut nachgezuckert wurde, oder als Zutat/zum Beträufeln für Desserts und Gebäck. Es bleibt bei 7,7 2022 Nicht kommentiert

Veľmi príjemný rum na celovečerné pitie. Sladší, tak akurát
Review by Penzi
A really good, round rum that reminds me of passion fruit. Still far too sweet.
Review by HerrMoosbach
In der Preisklasse der beste, den ich bisher getrunken habe. Gekauft Fehmarn Ostern 2025.
Review by Stan Hardy
Bin nicht begeistert. Sehr süß, etwas Funk , Trockenfrüchte und leichter Muff. War eine Empfehlung für Einsteiger. Da kenne ich einige wesentlich bessere.
Review by Flo89
Süß, fruchtig. Süffig. Sehr weich. Super Preis Leistung
Review by Portman
Hochestriger, schwerer, von Trockenfrüchten dominierter Rum, der fast likörartig wirkt. Sehr schmackhaft, aber durch seine intensiven Früchte "sättigt" er nach einem Glas bereits den Gaumen. Trotzdem sehr empfehlenswert für Freunde jamaikanischer Ester-Bomben.
Review by Torsten vom Endt
Kurz und schmerzlos....Schlecht. sehr süß und es fehlt an allem. Meine Erwartungen wurden nicht ansatzweise erfüllt. Ein typischer "Däne"

Jamaika schlägt voll durch. Sehr süß. Pflaume.

Süßer Rum. Den Jamaika Anteil schmeckt man sofort raus. Preis-Leistung in Ordnung.
Review by rum_sk
I can identify Jamaica in the 👃 straight away. Bery lovely nose very typical jamaican estery whiff. I was looking forward to the taste but fuck me that is sweet. Jägermeister kind of sweet. What a way to kill a good rum.
Review by Karlheinz Markhof
Anfangs sehr gewöhnungsbedürftiger Geschmack, wurde mit zunehmenden Verkostungen besser.
Review by David Martens
Süßer, fast Sirup artiger Rum mit Frucht und leichten Holznoten
Review by MJ72
Ausgeprägte Süße mit fruchtigen Noten, etwas Fass und Würze kommen nach mit mittlerem Abgang. Gut zu trinken.
