How does this rum taste?
- Rich dark chocolate and vanilla
- Well-integrated oak and sweetness
- Pleasant, easy sipping experience
Dark chocolate, vanilla, and oak lead the profile of Villa Rica Single Barrel Rum, a 23-year-old limited release from Veracruz. Tasters note a pronounced woodiness balanced by sweet vanilla, caramel, and subtle coffee, with complexity from tobacco and dried fruit elements. While some find it a touch thin or mild, many praise its mellow richness and dessert-like layers. Worth exploring for fans of mature, smooth rums with a wood-forward character.

"Nette Kombi aus Leder, Tabak, dörrpflaume, Kakao, Vanille-Mark und Rosinen sowie getrocknete Feigen und kräftigem Mokka. Schmeckt aber auch ein bisschen nach künstlichen Zusätzen, schwer zu sagen. Könnte insgesamt etwas intensiver und länger anhaltend sein. Ein paar % mehr hätten nicht geschadet. Insgesamt aber ein netter sipping Rum und einer der besseren vertreter aus Mexico. Vor allem besser als ron prohibido etc..."
"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..."
"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. Edit: dopíjím a pořád to vidím stejně"
"Not too sweet, but tastes very much like caramelized sugar and is also very thin."
