The Opthimus 15 Year Malt Whisky Finish Rum is a remarkable and exceptional spirit that captivates with its age and unique finishing process. Unlike the frequent practice of finishing whiskies in rum casks, this rum has undergone the rare treatment of being aged in a whisky cask. Produced by the renowned Oliver & Oliver company, this rum is crafted from Caribbean molasses and aged using the solera method in ex-bourbon casks. This process blends short, medium, and long-aged distillates, resulting in a rich and varied profile. Before bottling, the rum is further aged for an additional 18 months in a Tomatin single malt Scotch whisky cask, enhancing its complexity and depth. On the nose, Opthimus 15 Year Malt Whisky Finish Rum reveals a sophisticated array of cinnamon, sandalwood, spices, tropical fruits, and oak. The palate follows with sweet, pastry-like flavors enriched by oak, grapes, pepper, and fruit, creating an exquisitely layered experience. The finishing process imparts a harmonious blend of chocolate, vanilla, oak, and spice, culminating in a long, oily, and spicy finish. Produced in limited quantities—only 1,000 bottles—this rum epitomizes the expertise and heritage of Oliver & Oliver. With Cuban roots and a base in the Dominican Republic, the Oliver family has transferred their extensive knowledge and skills in rum-making, continuing to innovate while staying true to their origins. The Opthimus Rum, aged for a minimum of fifteen years in ex-bourbon casks and an additional 18 months in whisky casks, exemplifies their dedication to quality and craftsmanship. Best enjoyed neat, this limited edition rum is a testament to Oliver & Oliver's esteemed reputation in the spirits industry.
