Vizcaya VXOP 21

One of the smoothest, easiest to drink alcoholic beverages you will find.

If your looking for the absolute rum, this is it, exspensive but we'll worth it an absolute great rum, would be a crime to mix

Personally speaking I cannot give any rum a 10 because I do not believe a perfect rum exists. The late great Vince Lombardi once said, "Gentlemen, we are going to relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we will not catch it, because nothing is perfect. But we are going to relentlessly chase it, because in the process we will catch excellence. I am not remotely interested in just being good." Vizcaya VXOP is the very embodiment of that. It has caught excellence in a bottle. I normally drink rum in Coke Zero but this tastes so freakin' good that I cannot bring myself to use it in such a manner. I would be a crime to do so IMHO. I can honestly say that this is going to be my first, and thus far only, sipping-only rum. Everything about this rum (other than the bottle) screams excellence (the bottle could and should have been more ornate for such a spectacular rum). The flavor is wonderful with just a wonderful balance of sweetness and oakiness (is there such a word a "oakiness"? If not, there ought to be one). It causes a burn in the back of the throat but not a "kick-you-in-the-throat" kind of burn one gets from cheap liquor nor the harsh burn from lesser quality rums but a silky/satiny burn that slides into place only to slide away just to entice you to take another sip. If you have to buy one bottle and only one bottle of rum, at this time, this would be the one I would recommend. I reserve the right to change my mind or add to the list. [NOTE: Yes, I do realize that sugar was added to this rum. I still like it.]

This is one of the top RUMS on my list by far. I love this rum and If I do not have it at the house im going straight to specs to pick me up a bottle. My fav!!!

I find myself going back and have a second glass every time I have a drink. Sweet but not to sweet with none of that after burn.

Good & Smooth. Vanilla, toffee, marshmallow and nuts.

A wonderful sipping rum, but you can still mix it with a bit of fresh pineapple juice or a simple seltzer with a spritz of lime. This is something truly special - the kind of rum that makes people sign up for rum fanatic websites...

by far the best sipping rum around. My personal favorite. Distilled from straight sugarcane and not molasses. Very sweet but goes down so damn smooth. It warms all the way down with no burn at all. You will not find a better rum in this price range hands down.
More people need to try this immediately.

Its good rum, smooth and vanilla taste but strong finish. Beautiful bottle

Vizcaya VXOP.
The bottle:Bit rounded perfume bottle.
Glass: Light amber color. In the beginning a robust alcoholic smell but after venting in 15-20 minutes, a vanilla scent pops up.
Mouth: Here, it is very strange. Without aeration tastes much milder than aerated therefore contrary to the fragrance. The taste tighten vanilla direction a little boisterous than usual Dominican rum. It may come from the Cuban formula that is mentioned on the bottle.
Aftertaste: Butterscotch, vanilla
Summary: The thing is that I puffed on a Don Tomas cigar during the test, but I do not know how much it has affected. I like this rum it has character
