As its name suggests, Unhiq XO is the brand's only rum.
It is made by the Oliver & Oliver company, which produces just 1500 bottles a year.
The aging method is solera, which involves blending old rums with younger rums in the same barrels. The minimum age of the rums that make up Unhiq XO is 25 years. This is quite exceptional for a process that originated in Andalusia.
Aged in bourbon barrels in a tropical climate.
Each bottle is hand-numbered and certified by Maestro Ronero. The year of bottling is also indicated.
Nico's tasting notes
The nose is thick and deep, with heavy aromas of caramel and sweet coffee. The profile is roasted but very round, with caramelized nuts and vanilla. One can imagine a tight, sweet coffee resting close to the oak barrel.
Aeration clears the horizon and lightens the rum somewhat. The aromas of soft white oak come into play. Then we come across the trusty coconut and vanilla, hand in hand, followed by sweet caramel. Time brings balance, and with it, a certain elegance and maturity of precious wood.
On the palate, we find a sweet rum with a lascivious complexity. The attack is both fruity and very round, with extremely ripe fruit bursting with sugar (mirabelle plum, peach). Caramel very slowly covers these fruits, carrying with it a few caramelized peanut and hazelnut chips. The rum is then enriched by leather and dark vanilla, before being picked up again by thick caramel.
The finish is extremely round, bordering on rum liqueur.
"A very rich, sweet rum, a concentrated liqueur of caramelized and vanilla rum..."
