La Recompensa Ron Viejo Venezolano 8-Year

Bought a bottle of this rum at Mercadona in Spain. It’s a Spanish IB from Jerez.
Nose and palate is mostly vanilla with a hint of bitterness.
It’s probably a Solera, but it isn’t anything about that written at the label.
Picture: My opened bottle & a poured glass down in Nerja, Spain.

Really good for the money. Mercadona have this own brand in white for €5, anejo for €6, and this viejo 8 for €9. "Splashed out" for the viejo and am very pleased. Made a great Black Cuban mixed 2:1 with Ruavieja Licor de Cafe - ridiculous really that just two dirt cheap ingredients can make a nice cocktail.

It's Venezuelan.
