Vizcaya Cask 21 VXOP Rum

Vizcaya VXOP Cask 21 is the premium sipping rum of the Vizcaya line, made in the Dominican Republic by Oliver & Oliver, the independent Dominican blender that sources distillate from several Caribbean producers and ages it in its own warehouses, and launched in the US in 2014 through A. Hardy USA. The brand says it is distilled in small batches from fermented sugarcane juice on a continuous column still, though reviewers consider molasses the more likely base given Oliver & Oliver's usual practice. VXOP stands for very extra old preferred, and Difford's Guide lists the blend as 18- and 21-year-old rums matured in ex-bourbon casks, bottled at 40% ABV, with the 21 a cask designation rather than a formal age statement; the bottle itself carries no age. Difford's found a deep golden amber rum with a pungent nose of dried fruit, vanilla and faint cinnamon, a sweet palate of maple syrup balanced by dry spiced oak, and a long, fruity, spiced finish, while the Rum Howler scored it 86.5 and logged caramel, raisins, dates, orange marmalade, cinnamon bun, butterscotch and peanut brittle, calling it very good for sipping or short cocktails with amaretto and lime.
