Aroma of this rum is very pleasant without disturbing smell of alcohol. Taste is very light with strong tones of wood. My first mexican rum, which surely wasn't disappointment. Not top for me personally, but not bad choice at all.
Smells like whisky at first. A bit of a burn. Not really sweet
Pěkná barva.
Vůně - karamel, dřevitá vůně. Ne moc výrazná
Chuť - příjemně hřeje, ale nechutná mi. Čokoláda

Un ami m'a fait goûter ce rhum qu'il avait reçu en cadeau. J'ai bien aimé le boire seul après un bon souper lors de notre chasse à l'orignal.
médaille d'or en 2020, mais je voit pas trop pourquoi???
Pour le prix vous pouvez trouvez 1000x mieux!!
Bonne bouteille
Mais je m'attendais à mieux pour un rhum de 23ans
Este Ron a sido galardonado en europa y a mi parecer tiene una muy buena aroma de vainilla, miel y tabaco, asi como un sabor delicioso aunque corto en la boca bueno en las rocas asi como bueno para mezclar, no creo que tenga 23 años en una barrica pero esta rico.
Try to get a well lit shot from the front of the rum label

Questionable labeling

Although listed here as "Villa Rica 23-Year" there is nothing on the bottle indicating the "23" is indicating years aging. All it says is "23 years" and "superior aged rum". Ambiguous. I hope some day there will be standards for labeling rum. The tag attached to the label doesn't clear things up. In part it reads "created with distilled sugar cane juice and aged since the 20th century in ancient European white oak toasted barrels". I want to know what they consider "ancient". Did they dig up the barrels at some archaeological site in France or Britain? The tag also reveals it originates from Veracruz, Mexico. My bottle was identified (handwritten) as "Bottle: 128/240 Barrel No. VR49". The bottle is rather elegant. Tall and slender...a little taller than typical rum bottles with gold leaf lettering.
The rum itself is a nice amber color and has a sweet, fruity aroma in the snifter. The flavor starts off sweet which is unusual for rum made from cane juice...I expected something a little drier...which makes me wonder if this rum has been sugared and by how much. I get hints of prunes and raisins in the flavor along with a bit of pepperiness and a decent burn which fades swiftly leaving a drier finish but lingering raisin flavor remains. The oak barrels have imparted their flavor in the rum giving it a slight bitterness from the tannins.
I have to disagree with some of the reviewers saying it's a terrible rum. It's not. It's a fairly decent rum that seems to have been sugared somewhat apparently to ease some of the harshness. It doesn't have the character nor smoothness of a rum aged for 23-years in single oak barrels so I am of the opinion the labeling is misleading. I would expect a legitimate 23-year-old single-barrel rum would be far more expensive than the $30 USD I paid.
It's not as smooth of a rum as one would expect from an aged rum but it's not overly harsh either. It's on the borderline of sipper/mixer. Personally I would prefer it as a mixer rather than a sipper but I can see it being enjoyed by some neat or on the rocks. Definitely worth a try. Don't let the very negative reviews here keep you from at least trying it. I've had some incredibly bad rums (see my reviews at the "1" level for examples) but this is far from being one of them.
