Dark, Versatile, Dominican
One clarification up front: the "12" is the product's name, not its age — the sources disagree on the actual aging length, so this copy states no number. What it is: a Dominican dark rum distilled from fresh cane juice (not molasses), aged in ex-bourbon oak, built to move between the glass and the cocktail shaker. Vanilla and mint on the nose; a rich, complex palate of subtle vanilla, cocoa and maple; a buttery finish. It's the mixing-and-sipping middle of the Vizcaya range — below the Cask 21 flagship, above the everyday tier. Shop the rum collection or see the whole Vizcaya family.
Tasting Notes
Nose of vanilla and mint. Palate rich and complex — subtle vanilla, cocoa, maple — with a buttery finish.
How to Enjoy
Equal parts sipper and mixer: neat or on ice, or as the base of a dark rum Manhattan, an El Presidente or a quality Cuba Libre.
