Tres Hombres Oliver & Oliver Ed. 015 Captains Choice XVIII 2016
Roasted chocolate, coffee and burnt sugar lead here, with a big vanilla note that several tasters single out as the highlight. It's a classic Spanish-style column rum from Oliver & Oliver — rounded, sweet and a touch one-dimensional. At 66.6% the heat is real; most people add a drop of water to open it up. Lovely if you like sweet, roasty sippers.
- Strong vanilla note
- Chocolate and coffee
- Creamy toffee body

How does Tres Hombres Oliver & Oliver Ed. 015 Captains Choice XVIII 2016 taste?
Aggregated from 20 community reviews.
Sweet, roasty Spanish-style sipper at high proof Most find it elegant and roasty with strong vanilla, but also quite sweet and a bit predictable. The high ABV needs water; one reviewer noted obvious sugar and infusion.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Had two tastings this weekend and Très Hombres was the first one. This rum kicks just the right places and I needed a drop of water to release more flavours. The oak is only there in the background, but I like that on this powerful rum. Spices, chocolate and coffee are more in the center. Lovely rum and very rare i found out.
Review by Tim
Mein erster hochprozentiger O&O, der aber ohne große Überraschungen daherkommt und sehr stark auf der röstigen und schokoladigen Seite liegt. Man riecht die typischen Aromen eines spanischen Rums, was auch diesen Rum zu einem runden und eleganten Erlebnis macht. Im Mund röstig, würzig und bittersüß. Im Abgang dann etwas mehr Frucht, ansonsten nichts neues. Die knapp 65% sind definitv spürbar, es sollte meiner Meinung nach etwas Wasser hinzugegeben werden.
Review by mto75
Very drinkable and delicious 😋 Vanilla notes and oak on the nose, creamy on the palate, toffee. A few drops of water take away the alcoholic sharpness.
Review by Pavel Spacek
I feel a lot of sugar and infusion in the rum. For 98%.

Close to perfection! It goes on and on.
Review by Mentalo
Alcohol needs a lot of time. Again the sweetness that masks a lot. But an outstanding vanilla note in the nose and on the palate. But that's about it. Like many wines from this area, it remains quite one-dimensional. But it's still a good representative of the Spanish style in my eyes.

Jäkligt god. Mer alokohol. Eken slår igenom.
