La Progresiva 13 (70cl)

La Progresiva 13 is a hand-made rum from the maestras del rum of Bodega Vigia, produced from spirits grown in the red soil of Ciego de Ávila, where Vigia has made rum since 1577. Vigia rums were originally reserved as gifts for visiting heads of state; they now carry the Vigia seal as a mark of Cuban quality. On the nose it shows citrus, honey, sugar cane and oak. On the palate it is dry and smooth. It can be enjoyed with a touch of orange and a single large ice cube, or at room temperature in a balloon glass, and works in cocktails such as an Old-Fashioned or a Daiquiri.
