Vizcaya VXOP
Cuban Formula Rum
Cask No. 21
Aged 8 Years
40%
Country of origin: Dominican Republic
Blended
Colour: Chestnut
Nose:
Very sweet reminding of Punschkrapfen (Austrian Punch Doughnut), red glaze and marzipan. Furthermore there are notes of candy floss and strawberry jam with fudge and toffee. More and more vanilla with cinnamon are coming up.
Palate:
Not as sweet as expected although there is still some sweetness with fruity notes at first mouthfeel. Smooth and soft, light, slightly spicy and smoky. After some time the sweetness is replaced by spiciness (cloves, black pepper and green bell pepper).
Finish:
Medium long with herbal notes, slightly dry and bitter.
Mild heat on entrance. Smooth, but a little bland. Makes up for it with it's pleasant fruity finish instead of that overly spiciness many rums have.

I have tasted this some time ago, but what I remember: Smoother than 12 yo. Very good stuff. Can recommend this one.

Sampled this rum which is very smooth but the flavours are somewhat underwhelming when compared to other rums in the same price range ($101 CAD in my area). I also found it a bit too sweet for my liking.

Very nice vanilla warm sweet nose... perfect! Strong vanilla scents. Sweet rich body. Alcohol quickly fades out. Sweetness that is too sugary. Long great aftertaste... perfect... it could be a bit richer body...

Bin etwas enttäuscht, weil ich mehr Profil erwartet hatte. Der Rum ist mir zu "dünn" und irgendwie langweilig. Zu teuer.

tilpas sød og god smag, men det holder desværre ikke så længe. Har godt af at dampe lidt af...

I really enjoy this rum. I would give it a 8.5 but since that isn't available. Excellent neat or on the Rocks, don't wanna waste it with more than a splash of coke. Excellent flavor and finish. I have 100 rums in my cabinet and I can pick this one out in a blind test every time.
Well worth the $ you will spend at a reasonable practical price.
