Distillery history

Master Juanillo Oliver devoted many years to the cultivation of sugar cane before moving into the production of spirits. Since sugar cane is the basis of rum, it naturally lent itself to getting into the rum business. Today, his company Oliver & Oliver in the Dominican Republic produces the finest rums according to traditional recipes of the 18th century. This includes Esclavo Dominicana XO Solera Rum, which is made according to an old Cuban tradition.

Manufacturing process

In the production of the Esclavo Dominicana XO Solera Rum, the Cuban solera method is used. This refers to a pyramid consisting of four rows of barrels, with the lowest row (solera) containing the oldest distillate. In a 23-year-old solera rum, only the oldest distillate of the rum is also 23 years old, the others are accordingly younger. For the maturation of this rum, former bourbon barrels of American white oak were used, which gives it a woody aroma.

Taste

The years of expertise and the elaborate manufacturing process of the Esclavo Dominicana XO Solera Rum, is clearly reflected in the taste. With increasing maturity of the Solera Rum, the taste is also increasingly intense. In the Esclavo Dominicana XO, the oldest distillate is matured for 23 years. This gives this rum a strong aroma with notes of silky caramel, sweet honey and vanilla and spicy pepper. A smoky aroma typical of Cuba can also be clearly tasted. With its complex and intense flavor, Esclavo XO clearly stands out from other rums of its origin. Such an intense taste experience you must have tried pure at least once.
