Oliver & Oliver Opthimus 25 Años Malt Whisky Finish (TOMATIN)
"Whoever loves rum and whisky should grab this one," writes one member — and that's the honest pitch. It's a soft, sweet Oliver & Oliver solera: caramel, toffee, vanilla and brown sugar, with dark chocolate and a bit of coffee deeper down. The 43% keeps it round and gentle. The catch is the malt-whisky finish — some taste it clearly, plenty don't notice it at all.
The community says- Creamy chocolate note
- Round and gentle
- But: Added sugar

How does Oliver & Oliver Opthimus 25 Años Malt Whisky Finish (TOMATIN) taste?

Soft, sweet solera with a faint whisky finish Most find it a tasty, easy sipper; the recurring gripe is that the whisky finish stays faint and the profile leans sweet and simple for the style.

It’s great, but it should have been even better with a little bit higher ABV. But it will anyway have a unthreatened place at my Spanish styled shelf. Aromas is sweet and woody with hints of vanilla. The flavors is rather sweet and round with a distinct taste from the whisky finish.

There is hardly anything to notice from the extra whisky finish.... Overall, another unfortunately disappointing Oliver
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a retasting and I'll leave the old comment and change the points 😊 This is a malt finish og their normal 25 and you definitely get the barrel finish. The nose is sharp in the beginning so leave if for 15 minutes ad you get rewarded with fruits, vanilla and caramel. There is a bit of earthiness about it. The palate is mild and well rounded with a lot of tropical fruits, berries and grapes topped with vanilla and oak. The finish is medium to long with a sweet stickiness followed by fruit, cocoa and caramel.
Review by Dunzi
Certainly not a rum for everyone and probably not for rum beginners. Meanwhile, I have 25 different rums with very different taste directions.this rum stands out very strongly from all others. Who likes rum and whiskey, should get this special rum (in my collection the most expensive copy so far).
Review by Michael Schillheim
Quite nice for in between. More also not. The whiskey finish is rather inconspicuous to unspectacular.
Review by AlexSBk
Gesüsst aber sehr lecker und komplex
Review by TheJackDrop
Degusté au Spirits Days à Tournai, notes rapides : Nez : gourmand, très équilibré, mais ou est passé le whisky ? Bouche : pareil, c'est sympa mais simple, et sans whisky. Bref : peu d'intérêt, encore un solera sans +.
Review by Bernhard Maier
zuerst leichte Schärfe, gefolgt von moderater Süße und am Schluss etwas anhaltende Whisky-Aromen.
Review by Michael Ihmels 🇩🇪
Ein sehr leckerer Opthimus von Oliver und Oliver. Im Geschmack schön Noten von Karamell und Toffe zu erkennen. Sehr leicht und lecker im Abgang. Schön intensiv. Interessanter Rum der durchaus zu empfehlen ist.
Review by Richard Colwell
Deeper notes on the nose and palate, with clear expression of the malt. Palate is creamy, chocolatey, with notes of coffee/espresso. Deeper notes are balanced by sweetness. Finish is gradual and smooth, tending towards slightly bitter/acrid.

Velice zdařilý rum....😍
Review by Joël
Naja, süss und schwach auf der Brust. Kann man gut trinken, aber keine Ahnung wie hier ein Schnitt von 8.0 entstehen konnte. Für Einsteiger OK.
