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.

Medium color for an aged rum combining notes of cola, vanilla and light molasses. It combines sweetness with a touch of acidic bite. Well blended.

Those Cubans can make rum, too bad we can't legit import it. It's just formulas, recipies, "inspired" or you travel a lot out of the US. Delicious.

I think, this is good for sipping. Smooth and not too sweet. But not special one. I can find almost same flavor and taste in other Dominican rum. Body is thin and has flavor of some dried fruit and spice.

medicinal and cheap vanilla bomb. The finish was astringent and unpleasant. 70+

I tried this rum for the first time a few days back, and as soon as I removed the top, I knew I was for a treat. The aroma was sweet and immediately hit the right spot. The color was as expected for an aged rum, bronze but not too dark. The taste had hints of vanilla, caramel and so smooth on the way down. I have had more expensive aged rums that are not as smooth as this one. A must have in your inventory. Nice gold color and super sweet aroma. The finish is smooth, no heat, which I think is a great end to this rum.

This is good drink... little bit simple profile taste but not in bad way, with some medium sweetness as most Oliver & Oliver rums & also a very small touch alcohol finish (maybe thats becase this has not intense flavours to cover the ethanol). Also it is smooth but with different character maybe maple taste makes it something little new & medium lenght in aftertaste....

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.
