Vizcaya VXOP 21

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

This rum and Plantation 20th are my go to on the rocks $40 rums. Well worth the money. Next time I have a glass I will write thorough review.

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.

Got this after checking the reviews here. Has a good long burn. Some complain of sweetness, not too sweet. Not very complex either as others have noted. Solid, but not top tier.

Don’t know the Viscaya story but I really like it a lot, smooth sweat, nice depth and color. I recommend trying it.

En god rom, som rammer en 7’er på skalaen. Den har god fylde og smag, men mangler lidt for at komme højere op.

Okay, I may have to test this one again because I have a cold and my palate my be a little off. However, what I’m getting matches most of the other reviews perfectly. It’s incredibly smooth. You could give this to a beginner as a sipper and it would not overpower them. On the other hand, you could mix it and not lose anything that makes it unique. The characteristic that comes out most is a spice that is kind of like cinnamon (although it’s not). It gives it a burn (not an unpleasant alcohol burn) just a little tingle - like a good tequila or bourbon yet it’s sweet enough that there is no doubt that you are drinking rum. I could easily give this an 8 but there are other rums that I’ve given an 8 that have more bold and complex tastes. Yet if somebody gave me a bottle of Vizcaya VXOP 21 as a gift, I would be very pleased. BTW, the bottle is a beautiful presentation that looks more like a great cognac or bourbon than rum - but again - this is sweet enough to be rum. It’s not overly sweet but if you’re looking for exceptionally dry, you may not like this as much.

Plenty of vanilla. Smells sweeter than it tastes. I like

Nose: citrus, berries and a hint of vanilla and marzipan

Palate: hint of fresh fruity citrus.
perfectly balanced between the sweetness and alcohol - no harsh alcohol burn

Bit pricey
I recommend leaving it for a couple of minutes, for the alcohol to vaporize.

My wife and I were first introduced to Vizcaya at the Tampa Rum Fest in 2008. Before that night we only knew rum to be something mixed into a punch or added to a cola. I've since introduced a lot of rum fans to the larger world of cane-based spirits with this and Diplomatico. Ten years later I'll still go back occasionally. It's a bit sweet for me now, but this is a great starter rum for someone looking for something beyond Cap'n and Coke. It's very light on the nose with a hint of caramel and oak. The first sip has a lot of flavor from the sweetness and the woodiness. I like it on the rocks, but it also makes a nice Rum Old Fashioned.
