Oliver & Oliver Relicario Superior
Neat it's easy but flat — sweet caramel and vanilla over a spirit note that's louder than the 40% suggests, plus oak and a slightly bitter tail. Where it actually shines is in a glass with cola and lime: several members call it a great Cuba Libre base, especially if Havana feels too pushy. "Too sweet for my taste" comes up a lot.
The community says- Easy entry rum
- Great in cola
- But: Tastes sweetened

The look inside the bottle
How does Oliver & Oliver Relicario Superior taste?
Aggregated from 133 community reviews.
Sweet, simple Dominican that mixes better than it sips Most see a decent entry-level Dominican: sweet, woody, uncomplicated. The common gripes are noticeable sweetness and a spirity, faintly bitter finish. People rate it far higher as a mixer than neat.

Review by Galli33
Good for Mixing, nice as a cuba libre 👌🏻 A bit to sweet for what I like (maybe sugar was added!?) This was diluted for sure, no power, complexity… Update: This was one of my first rum of this amazing journey through the rum world! Now after 3 years(!) the bottle is empty 😅
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This rum is kind of thin/flat and lacks complexity, but I think it's a good beginner rum. The nose is fruity with oak and vanilla. The palate is fruity and the finish in whisky barrels is clear in the taste. The oak is present and so is smoke and vanilla. The finish is medium and spicy with oak/smoke.
Review by Rumpalumpa
netter Lateinamerikaner. pur ganz gut, wenn auch recht flach und etwad sprittig. Ist aber gut für cocktails, in denen die typische holzige Würze von gereiftem "spanischem" Rum gefragt ist. macht z.B. einen super Nui Nui!
Review by zabo
Nochmal ganz ganz ganz weit hinten im Schrank gefunden. Nur mal kurz probiert und mich über meinen damaligen Geschmack aus den Anfängen gewundert. Naja der Nachbar hat sich gefreut, dass er die Restflasche als Cola Mixer haben darf. Dem schmeckt das zum Glück noch.
Review by Air-one
Nez dominante alcool suivi par le caramel. L'alcool se retrouve en bouche avec un petit côté caramel piquant. Finale trop courte. Le contenu n'est pas à la hauteur du contenant. Ça reste une belle porte d'entrée dans le monde du rhum.
Review by w00tAN
Leicht alkoholisch im Geschmack und das trotz der 40% ansonsten eigentlich ein Alleweltsgeschmack und nichts besonderes. Als einfacher Sipper und insbesondere für Einsteiger geeignet. Für mich persönlich gibt es in dem Preissegment spannenderes.
Review by Portman
Erinnert beim ersten Schluck an einen hochestrigen Jamaica-Rum, da sehr süß. Man schmeckt die Süßung leider deutlich heraus. Trotzdem ein runder, mittelschwerer Rum mit viel Frucht. Der Abgang ist leider etwas sprittig und fast bitter. Preis-Leistung passt aber auf jeden Fall!
Review by Werner10
Not too sweet, woody flavors and a bit roasted. Also has a smokey touch in the finish. Not bad for what it costs.
Review by Gregor
Für mich leider zu süß Im Geschmack
Review by Schnapsschuesse
Vanille, Trauben, Karamell, ein Hauch Schoko und eine unpassend starke Alkoholnote. Die Nase ist recht generisch aber nicht schlecht. Ein Hauch Cuba und viel Holz samt Politur. Der scharfe Alkohol trübt dann auch leider den recht flachen und unkomplexen Geschmack. Hier ist nichts los ausser den Noten aus der Nase, drapiert auf dünnem aber starken Alkohol. Gemixt dann überraschend gut - klasse Cuba Libre für alle denen Havana & Co. zu penetrant in ihrem Charakter sind. Fur mich keine Pulle die man im Regal braucht.

Review by Bert Tronquo
Very cheap and very decent entry level rum. Very good as a mixer, enjoyable pure but nothing remarkable. Since the low price I would actually buy it again if I'm in need for a mixer at home.
Review by faust klément
Rhum de cocktails, bon nature, mais parfait avec un coca frais et du citron
Review by Andy Wrede
Wenig Ecken und Kanten aber dadurch auch kein markantes Aroma. Ein wenig zu alkoholisch. Geschmack süß und karamellig bzw. Vanille. Kann man trinken,muss man aber nicht

Ovocný rum,celkom konzumovatelny.
Review by Buddudharma
Gutes Beispiel dafür, warum die DomRep in der Rum-Welt eine so schlechte Reputation genießt. Sehr eindimensional und uninteressant, dazu mit einer künstlichen Süße und einer Bitternote im Abgang. Bestenfalls für Tiramisu geeignet.

Read full review →There's nothing exciting going on - nothing other than the presentation which would make it stand out from 50 other similar rums. I can't imagine I'll buy another bottle (unless its heavily discounted). Not bad but not all that good either. Very slightly above average. Easy to drink but easy...
