One of the best-known manufacturers of rum from the Dominican Republic is the company Oliver & Oliver, which is also responsible for the Opthimus Rum 21 years. The history and production of Opthimus Rum 21 years In the middle of the 19th century, Juanillo Oliver, of Spanish descent, settled in Cuba and began to grow tobacco and sugar cane there. He made cigars and rum from these basic products and quickly became a respected businessman in the region. During the second war of independence, the Olivers' farm and production facility were burned down by separatists. When independence was achieved, the Olivers began to successfully grow tobacco again. Business went well until the revolution broke out in the country in 1959 and the family was forced to leave Cuba. It was not until the end of the 1980s that a young member of the family returned to Cuba and began to research the family's history. In the numerous documents he found the original recipes for the rum produced by the family in the 19th century. Spurred on by this, he and other family members decided to bring the Oliver family's rum back to life. The Olivers chose the Dominican Republic as a production location because it has great similarities to Cuba in terms of climate, topography and geology and thus offers the ideal conditions for successful rum production. To guarantee the success of the brand and to ensure the perfect taste of the rum, Cuban emigrated engineers and master blenders were employed. Since 1997, the rum has been marketed under the company name Oliver & Oliver and has caused a sensation on the international rum market with bottlings such as the Opthimus Rum 21 Years. The Opthimus Rum 21 Years is stored for at least 21 years in former bourbon whiskey barrels using the Solera process and then bottled in an attractive bottle. The taste of the Opthimus Rum 21 Years Long-stored rums such as the Opthimus Rum 21 Years have a very differentiated taste profile. In addition to pronounced fruity notes in the nose, the Opthimus Rum 21 Years also has fine floral notes. On the palate, the very dark Opthimus Rum 21 Years presents itself with strong notes of vanilla, honey and dark chocolate. The aftertaste of the Opthimus Rum 21 Years is unforgettably long and an absolute highlight in this price range. We recommend enjoying the Opthimus Rum 21 years in peace and quiet with a few good friends!

Presidente Marti Rum 23 Solera, 0.7 L, 40% Rum from the Dominican Republic The manufacturer of the Presidente Marti 23 year old rum is the company "Oliver y Oliver", founded by Oliver Juanillo in Cuba in the 19th century, which is now considered one of the most renowned companies in the rum sector. The Presidente Marti 23 year old comes from the Dominican Republic. This island state on the island of Hispaniola is not yet associated with rum by all spirits connoisseurs, which in our opinion is a big mistake. Great rums such as Ron Barceló, Brugal, Cubaney or Ron Matusalem or even Ron Presidente Marti come from the Dominican Republic. Until the end of the 19th century, the Dominican Republic was a rather pre-industrial agricultural economy, which was then incorporated into the American sugar empire. Almost the entire economy was controlled by the gigantic sugar companies and since the Dominican Republic, as an independent country, did not benefit from tax exemptions, exports suffered and with it the popularity of the excellent rum. For a long time, rum from the Dominican Republic was only drunk locally and is only slowly reaching the international market on a larger scale. Presidente Marti 23 years The rum Presidente Marti 23 years is a tribute to the legendary Cuban freedom fighter José Julián Martí Pérez, who immortalized himself in the history books with his fight against the Spanish colonial power. To produce the Presidente Marti 23 year old rum, high-quality individual distillates of different ages are matured using the Solera process known from Spanish sherry production and then blended together. This creates a very expressive rum that impresses with its fine sweetness, spiciness and nuances of wood and vanilla. The aftertaste is, as you would expect from a rum of this class, surprisingly long and makes the Presidente Marti 23 year old the ideal rum to drink neat. In our opinion, the Presidente Marti 23 year old should be drunk either with a high-class dessert or as a digestif. We recommend having a good cigar or pipe ready, turning up your favorite music at the right volume and simply enjoying the moment.

Presidente Marti Rum 15 Solera, 0.7 L, 40%

Presidente Gran Anejo Rum 0.7L 40% Oliver y Oliver This independent bottler from the Dominican Republic has specialised in various brands and product series over the years. This includes the Presidente brand and the President Marti Gran Anejo of the same name. It is a rum that matures according to the solera system. The name comes from the bottom row, the solera (Spanish solera, meaning ‘lying on the ground’), because the barrels are stacked in this process. During storage, around a third of the alcohol is removed, starting from the bottom. This third is then filled up with alcohol from the barrel above, up to the top row. This is then filled up with fresh distillate. The distillates have a maturity level of around 15-23 years. Presidente Marti Gran Anejo This rum is primarily dedicated to a special person, José Julián Martí Pérez, who played a significant role in the 19th century in the struggle for Cuban independence. The Marti Gran Anejo from the Presidente brand is a rum from the Dominican Republic, but the production method is based on the traditions of the Cuban style. Gran Anejo is distilled from molasses and has a medium-long maturation period after the distillation process. In terms of taste, this rum is special because, in comparison to other rums with a lower degree of maturation, it can be enjoyed neat and without ice. The taste is balanced with a pleasant sweetness, subtle fruit aromas and a piquant, spicy wood note. This shows the full extent of the Solera system, which combines rums of different ages. It's worth breaking away from your usual habits and giving spirits from independent bottlers a chance.
