I am new to the rum game but I love this rum so much. I have tried many alcohols but I always go back to rum. Rum is my is my favorite. I am 23 years of age but can say I have almost been to all of the Caribbean islands as I travel a lot. I have had the opportunity to try many rums that are not sold in United States and ever since I tried Jamaica's JB rum that cannot be bought in America I was sold that rum is my favorite. Vizcaya is by far my favorite as I enjoy sweet smooth rums. I would buy this rum every time I run out. Every time I introduced this rum to friends and family they always asked me whats its called and add Vizcaya to their shelf. Buy it!
Great sugar cane juice rum. Pungent and sharp. Smells of vanilla, butterscotch an dried fruits with hint of cinnamon. Tastes of caramel apple, toasted marshmallow and maple syrup.

Very developed flavors and quality that surprised me. I don't drink it regularly, but I wouldn't turn it down. I bought it for the bottle, but was pleasantly surprised by the contents!

This rum is very smooth and gentle to the drinker.
Very easy to enjoy without requirering the palette of a connoisseur.
Lacks a bit of complexity.

This rum is a solid choice. Itยดs not very complex and the nose has just a little too much alcohol imo.
That being said, it's pretty smooth still.
Overall I would probably buy this again.
Edit: This rum grows on me. I like it better and better and has changed my rating to an 8. I just can't explain excactly why.
It has earned a permanent place in my collection.
Excellent sipping rum with sweet taste that extends beyond your first sip. Very smooth. A top rating for VXOP and top on my shelf.
Smooth with great aftertaste. Definitely one of favorites.

Great rum. The taste has some notes of honey and caramel. I thought the sweet taste was subtle (which I really like). It is well balanced and very very smooth. Nice bottle. This is a great rum for me. A solid 8/10.

Well balanced aged offering from DR. Price point where it should be but there are better values out there.

I finally got my hands on a bottle of this today and now I thank my fellow reviewers for recommending it to me! It was the last bottle on the shelf and my persistence has paid off!
This is another rum from the Dominican Republic that I would buy again. Yes, it is sweet, with notes of cinnamon, caramel and vanilla. There is no after burn going down the throat, but a release of a few complex flavors that I can't pinpoint. Super smooth without being dry. I would compare it as being a notch slightly below Plantation XO 20th Anniversary. The aroma is pure cinnamon! And supposedly, this is what good Cuban rum tasted like before 1959.
And after several weeks of breathing in the bottle, the complex flavors have revealed themselves to be mint or menthol. So much for my bottle of Angostura 1919 being alone in that category. This only shows that one cannot judge a rum based upon the first sip out of a new bottle and almost all ratings need to be adjusted with time. At a bar, it is okay to judge on one sip because it has usually been breathing in the bottle for some time. My rating still stands at an 8 for this one.
