Vizcaya VXOP rum is produced from sugar cane that is distilled in small batches then aged for between 18 and 21 years in bourbon casks.
The Oliver & Oliver distillery that produces Vizcaya VXOP rum was founded by Oliver Juanillo in the 1800s. It originally operated in Cuba, but in the 1959 revolution moved to the current Dominican Republic location.

Donβt know the Viscaya story but I really like it a lot, smooth sweat, nice depth and color. I recommend trying it.

Nice amber colour.
Nose: raisins, vanilla, honey, coffe
Taste: honey, dried fruits, mocka/coffe, some citrus trace, smooth, but fiery. Nice and pleasant aftertaste.

This is a great rum to drink on a nice rainy evening, or to mix with coke. It's sweet, it smells good. It's a little simple tho. Not complex. Still a very nice butt not so special rum

This be a smooth, quality rum. A little sweet, a little spice, and lots of chocolate flavor. The wenches love chocolate, so they'll love this. It be a tad simple in flavor, but still a solid rum for sippin'.

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.

Not so smooth as expected, and no complexity. Little vanilla flavour, but far away from Plantation XO (same price range).

Distilled from straight sugarcane and not molasses this is a very good Rum. Nice odors when you lift the cork an a good sweet taste but it goes down so damn smooth with no burn at all. Even the price is smooth for the quality of this Rum. Just Buy It and Taste It Yourself!!

If you can find it, get it. It is inexpensive but good for the price. I would add a rock and let it open up a bit then enjoy.

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.
