Opthimus 21 Year Old
A smooth Dominican rum for sipping
Opthimus 21 Year Old is a rum for people who like their aged rum soft, sweet and approachable. Made in the warm Dominican climate, it matures in American oak barrels that previously held bourbon. This gives it rounded caramel and vanilla flavours, without heavy dryness or harsh edges.
The solera method
Opthimus is aged using the solera system. Younger rums are blended with older reserves, so the blend gains depth and consistency from one batch to the next. The 21 Year Old draws on reserves that have rested in oak for up to 21 years, which gives it complexity at an accessible strength of 38% ABV.
About Opthimus
Opthimus rums are created by Oliver & Oliver, an independent specialist in Caribbean and Latin American rums. The range is known for its approachable, sweet-leaning style and for numbered, hand-finished bottles.
Tasting notes

- Palate: Light and smooth, with caramel, vanilla, orange peel and tropical fruit

How to enjoy it
Serve neat in a tulip glass or over a single large ice cube. It also works well in a rum Old Fashioned, where the caramel and vanilla stand out. Pair it with dark chocolate, roasted nuts or a slice of orange.
A gift for rum lovers
