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.

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.
