Vizcaya Cask 12 Dominikanske Republik Rum 40%

Pure sugar cane juice instead of molasses is not common in the Dominican Republic. It is one of Vizcaya's hallmarks.

Expert description

Vizcaya Cask 12 is a Rum from the Dominican Republic, distilled from 100% pure sugar cane juice and matured in American bourbon casks, bottled at 40%.

The rum uses the so-called "agricole" method, where the distillate is made directly from freshly pressed sugar cane juice rather than the more common molasses-based process. This gives Vizcaya its characteristic bouquet, smoothness and refined, sweet flavour. The rum received 93 points from Paul Pacult at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge.
