Villa Rica rum is distilled from sugar cane cultivated in the centre-west region of Veracruz State at the foot of the Sierra Madre Oriental near the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Veracruz is a place recognized for its humid, tropical weather which is the ideal climate for sugar cane plantations and spirit ageing. Two different types of sugar canes, which grow between 700 an 1400 meters above sea level, are used for Villa Rica rum. All water used for the production of rum comes from the Citlatépetl, Mexico’s highest volcano. Villa Rica matures in white oak barrels, previously used for Canadian whisky production.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Soft and elegant on the nose, nice hints of maturation, strong alcohol warmness delivering honeyed and toasted oak flavours together with nice exotic fruits.
Taste: Medium-plus body, very well structured, intense flavours as described on nose. Nice integration of alcohol acidity, great finesse
Finish: Warm persistent finish, flavours continue throughout taste, harmonious final, and sweet caramel echoing on the finish. Multi-layered flavours last long on the aftertaste
Long en bouche avec une attaque mélangée de bois de chêne et de miel, ensuite miel et caramel avec en final un bouquet de fruits exotiques. Un excellent équilibre entre alcool, senteurs et bouquet. Bien structuré, les 23 ans de fûts de chêne ont porté leurs fruits. Je pense que l’eau a apporté sa touche, ainsi que les fûts canadiens, qui remplacent bien les fûts européens et américains.
Corser à souhait le côté milieu vient en dire le tout…
Smooth
No rhum-taste !
Tohle nemusím.
Pas long en bouche et malgré quelques notes agréables de café, il reste un rhum passable
Einfacher Geschmack
Bon goût
Dobrá chuť a aróma
Très gouteux
Whiskey-flavour start, contiunues through citric multilayer back to whiskey again. Very interesting cultivated rum.
Taste like whiskey
Super rum.
A nice smooth taste but not a strong enough finish for me personally
Förmycket med whisky smak
Rich and tastey, notes of tobacco. You can for sure taste the barrel. Really nice.
Good taste. however, it feels a bit contrived
Quite enjoyed this taste. Not too “alcohol” tasty.
little bit strong, good taste
Decent rum, chocolate and bit smoaky on nose.
