Ron Viejo Bermudez is the original formula created by Don Erasmo Bermudez when he founded the company in 1852 in the Dominican Republic. The rum is aged in American oak barrels and bottled at 40% ABV.
he rum has a smooth exit leaving a nice light toffee and citrus spice on the back of my palate. The burn was strong enough to warm my throat; but there was not enough burn to be uncomfortable. A lack of bitterness capped the experience, which is exactly how I like my rum to finish.
