Opthimus 21 Sistema Solera Magna Cum Laude 38% Vol. 0,7l

The Opthimus 21 Sistema Solera Magna Cum Laude 38% represents a particularly selective style within the Opthimus line and combines long barrel aging with a composition deliberately designed for elegance. For this Solera rum, which contains components aged for up to 21 years, only the top ten percent of carefully selected barrels are used. Aging takes place in both toasted French oak barrels and ex-Bourbon barrels made of American white oak, allowing different wood influences to harmoniously intertwine. French oak adds extra spice and structure, while the ex-Bourbon barrels contribute softer vanilla, caramel, and toasted aromas. The result is a complex rum that highlights long aging and careful barrel selection.

At 38% ABV, the Opthimus Magna Cum Laude Sistema Solera is robust enough to showcase a distinct barrel character, yet remains smooth and well-balanced. The combination of aged rum components and various types of oak creates a complex blend of dark sweetness, subtle spice, and ripe wood notes. Particularly distinctive is the interplay of vanilla, burnt caramel, dark chocolate, and toasted oak, complemented by fruity and fresher accents. It is precisely the selection of particularly suitable barrels and the use of rums aged for up to 21 years that give this 0.7-liter bottling its distinctive character and make it an interesting choice for lovers of aged, harmonious Solera rums aged in French and American oak barrels.
