    "This one is kind of bad. Not really an exciting entry from Mexico. In core this remind some of bad south american rums. This would be unspectacular. But this one's has the burn and taste of artificial sweetener. This really takes about 15 points off I would assume..."

    "Not too sweet, but tastes very much like caramelized sugar and is also very thin."

    "Hezky voňavý kousek. Sušené ovoce, vanilka, třešně. Podobné je to v chuti. Tělo převážně sušené ovoce a závěr jde do třešní. Výrazně sladký rum, ale ne odporně cukrově jako minule treba Cartavio XO. To bylo hrozivě přeslazené. Villa Rica je za mě fajn aperitiv."

    "The taste of vanilla, ripe dried fruits, walnut and with an almost Maderia-like sweetness in the finish."
