Tres Hombres Oliver & Oliver Captain's Choice Special Edition 2014
Sipped neat, this is a big, sweet Dominican pour where the 65% somehow stays remarkably in check. Toffee, cocoa and brown sugar do the heavy lifting, with orange peel and oak underneath and a long, mildly sweet finish. Several members rank it among their favorite Dom. Rep. rums; the funk crowd finds it too sweet and too easy-going.

- Cocoa and toffee

Sweet, chocolatey Dominican sipper at high proof Loved by soft-sweet Dominican fans, and the high proof is genuinely well integrated. The catch: it's sweet and rounded, so ester chasers find it one-note.

Review by Thomas
One of the best Dom. Rep. rums of all time.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This one hits the nail and one of the highest proof rums that I tried where the proof is extremely well integrated. The nose is dominated by alcohol in the beginning but it settles after around 20 minutes. The you get a fruity and spice nose with toffee and cocoa/chocolate. The palate is an explosion of flavours where the barrel/oak mingles very well with caramel, chocolate and brown sugar. The finish is veeeeery long and mildly sweet with oak. This one is close to my favourite La Isla Bonita :-)
Review by Johan R
Sött och gott! Mumsigt. Möjligtvis bästa rommen jag druckit hittills.
Review by MathiasR
For a long time, this was my favorite rum of all time. But time and taste change, and being more into high esters now, I need to lower this from the top grade of 100.
Review by Stefan L
Way too sweet for me today. Not bad but today it reminds me of Ron Esclavo XO cask.
