The Ron La Progresiva de Vigia Mezcla 13yo is a premium Cuban rum, boasting a 41% ABV and a generous 700ml bottle size. Distilled from molasses using a column still at the Vigia distillery and bottled by The Island Rum Company, this 13-year-old rum is a tribute to the rich tradition of Cuban rum-making. The craftsmanship of two female master blenders ensures a sophisticated profile characterized by its unique Cuban essence. The aroma offers a medley of vanilla, alcohol, caramel, smoke, and a hint of glue. The taste unfolds in delightful layers of sweetness, smokiness, dried fruits, caramel, and vanilla.
As the rum breathes, additional vegetal tones emerge, maintaining a tropical, humid, and opulent feel. The white oak cask aging process infuses notes of vanilla, tobacco, and caramel, with a fresh hint of chlorophyll. This aromatic rum has a “funky” undertone and a deeply pastry-like presence, complemented by leather and cigar box nuances. The initial taste is smooth, with exotic notes surfacing, followed by a lively mid-palate spiced by alcohol. The finish is luxurious, combining warm leather, exotic rum raisins, ripe citrus fruits, and sugarcane honey, all accentuated by oak and spices.
La Progresiva De Vigia Mezcla 13 Rum is a testament to Cuba’s enduring rum heritage, skillfully crafted by the women rum maestros of Bodegas. This elegant, dry rum is ideal for sipping neat or as a base for your favorite cocktails. The molasses hails from the renowned province of Ciego de Avila, undergoing a traditional fermentation and distillation process. First bottled in 2019, this rum aims to revive the authentic, light, dry, and aromatic flavors of classic Cuban rum, reminding aficionados of its true essence despite the island’s historical isolation.
