Had this before but only been able to buy it in Cuba but now Mitch at Cgars Ltd has this in stock in the UK.
This is one of Cubas finest and ranks alongside the Havana Club 15 year old but not at the same price. On pouring you get an immediate floral aroma of honey and caramel and this gets stronger and more mellow as you warm the rum. The taste is 100% Cuban with a sweet overtone and some distinct toffee flavours around the palate. To get the very best from this rum you should warm it in your glass like you would a fine brandy.
I paired the rum with a Montecristo C and the pair went wonderfully together...almost too well as 4 glasses later I am feeling really good about the coming weekend and the world in general.
This is a true sipping rum and should be drunk neat or with a few ice cubes, nothing else as this would spoil what is an "A" grade rum. As I already said I have drunk this in Cuba, when I could find it as it is not the easiest to obtain, and to find it now available in the UK is a real bonus.
Don't underestimate the power of this rum as you find yourself wanting to pour more of it, and only realsie how good it is when it comes to getting up and walking
This is a rum for the true aficionado of rums and would pair well with most Havanas but really goes well with something with a little bite to it, possibly try it with a Bolivar or a Ramon Allones as it would take a lot to overpower the flavours of this wonderful rum.
If you like a fine rum to go with your cigars you could really do no better for the money than trying the Ron Vigia 18 year old and if anyone wants a sample to try then the first 3 guys to send me a hip flask, I will happily send them a sample
