Vizcaya VXOP 21

A balanced tasty contender that almost gets there, but the addition of sweeteners derails it.

edited to add sugar test results- 28g

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

Endnu et pletskud fra Oliver & Oliver. Dejlig duft og smag. Lad den stå i 20 min. i glasset og den bliver endnu bedre.

This is a flavor packed rum with a sweet caramel finish. The rum smells similar to the bourbon casks where it is aged.

I like the color and nose. The taste is nice but kind of "simple".

Nice nose, but a bit to much ethanol for me.
Rich taste but it goes to etanol after a while in the mouth..
But when swallowed.. The finish !!.. When the etanol taste leaves.. Just perfect..

Though produced in the Dominican republic, it still has the classic cuban character. The body is slightly thin but with nice caramel tones, fading into wodden spicy tingles. A no nonsens rum, sharing alot of qualities with the cubaney Exquisito 21 years.

The initial flavors are honey with some light vanilla, but no way as sweet as the Atlantico Private Cask. The taste turns into some subtle spices and finishes very smoothly. I like this one a lot.

Vizcaya Rum VXOP wordt gemaakt van vers geperst sap van suikerriet en wordt vervolgens voor meerdere jaren in vaten waarin voorheen bourbon whisky bevatte. Door deze specifieke opslag krijgt de Vizcaya rum VXOP een zeer fruitige en evenwichtige smaak.

a bit sweeter than I was hoping for. Not bad, just a bit too sweet.
