Ron Esclavo Gran Reserva Overproof
Reviews land in the middle: a sweet, chocolatey sipper with the volume turned up. Vanilla, caramel and dark chocolate lead, with coffee, maple and orange behind, over an oily body. The 57.5% is clearly there — one taster calls it a strong "dessert rum" that hides its proof surprisingly well behind the sweetness. Full and warming rather than delicate.
The community says- Rich chocolate & vanilla

Review by Yannick CULTOT
Most helpful positive review
A rum with obvious notes of coffee, vanilla and a hint of apricot. Quite sweet despite the high alcohol content. The finish is long and smooth.

Review by Montana
A smell of molasses, light roasted aromas, dark chocolate. A fairly oily body, quite sweet, vanilla with molasses, somewhat alcoholic.
Review by StefanR
The Ron Esclavo Gran Reserva Overproof is a powerful sweet-tooth rum with plenty of kick: vanilla, chocolate-mango, and coffee meet caramel, maple syrup, and pecan nuts. The 57.5% ABV is noticeable but surprisingly well balanced by the pronounced sweetness. I especially like the interplay of creamy chocolate, roasted aromas, and strong barrel spice. Not a delicate rum – but full-bodied, warm, and dangerously easy to drink.

Expert review by RumRock
Read full review ›Rums from the Dominican Republic are less sought after by me compared to destinations like Jamaica, Barbados, Guyana, etc. I'm not saying they don't have good rums, I just simply prefer slightly different flavor profiles. I like stronger tastes and aromas, higher alcohol %, and not too much sweetness.
