Ron Zacapa Edicion Negra

Salon du Rhum Spa 2018 - très bon comme quoi c'est pas le plus cher le meilleur !

Robe foncée. Belle complexité. Un peu plus lourd que le Solera 23. Côté visqueux sur le tabac. Arôme de fumé très présent. On aime l'originalité.

Au nez il y a du caramel et un soupçon de fumée. Au goût il y a de la cassonade, bois, chocolat et bien plus... Et on termine avec une finale tout en finesse

Tomo Zacapa solera 23 hace muchos años y siento que la calidad ha menguado. Sin embargo el último año me regalaron el Edición Negra y me volví a enamorar de Zacapa, miel guatemalteca!

I have added this one instead of the original solera 23. I find it more interesting in the taste and sent.

Smoked wooden tones, spicy, bourbon. Caramel, sweet touch. Mild for me, full taste. Stronger. Nice one.

Dark amber color with notes of vanilla, banana and butterscotch.

Like the Title sasys, Its basically a smoky big brother to the zacapa 23, but not overwhelming.

Purchased a sample from Master of Malt.

Lovely sipping rum from Zacapa. Bags of coffee and cacao on the nose. The same in the mouth with hints of spice and oak.

Spatnej rum to urcite neni, ale za ty penize mi to az zas takova pecka neprijde

too smoky and strong for me
I prefer other Zacapa editions

Nose
Nice smooth, delicious caramel. Looks sweet. Let’s taste it...

Taste
Wood! Don’t know how to explain this feeling, it looks like “very clean”, when you taste it. And after second you got this full of wood taste. Imagine clear waterfall coming from ground. Water is cold. And after that you got so strong oak taste.
I can’t say that this Rum is “super fantastic”, but it have some independence. This Rum is special, something different.

I give about 7,8 - 8,3

Förväntningar på denna var låg inför första gången jag provade den. Men oj så fel jag hade. Många som gillar whisky sägs gilla den här och jag är inte en whiskyfantast därav de låga förväntningarna. Men rökigheten som denna bjuder på är så perfekt och lagom att den placeras sig bland royalen. Royalen är dyrare absolut, och är bättre men denna får också en 9a pga att man får 3 av denna för priset av 1 royal.

A lot of barrels, like a mix of whiskey and rum, with good balance. A little too much whiskey to be really good

You have to let it breathe for some minutes. The flavour is smooth, smokey and the aftertaste stays longer. Nice sipper to enjoy.

I like the oak flavor, but this rum barely makes into my “drinking rum” category. I would prefer more buttery notes and other flavors.

I'm so bad at these reviews. It's a great rum. Solid choice. Do buy.

Ligesom jeg ikke er en stor fan af 23-års udegaven, så fanger denne rom mig heller ikke.

Den har en røget og krydret smag blandet med karamel.

I am a big fan of the Zacapa line of rum. The smoky flavor and intensity really adds a lot of character to this rum. A very different and bold taste compared to Zacapa 23 Solera.

Good rum across the board. Drink it neat and or on the rocks. I like to ad a pinch to a rum and coke to bring up a hint of smoke. This rum is totally unique from the other Zacapas i have tasted. Rich, hint of sweetness, leather, tobacco, dark fruits and a slight hint of sweet. Good stuff!

Man patinka ir tiek, nors aš nevartoju alkoholio. ;)

Mein Schwiegervater ist seit über 30 Jahren leidenschaftlicher Whiskey-Trinker und ich konnte mit meiner Rum-Leidenschaft nie zueinander. Dies hat sich nun mit diesem Rum geändert. Tolle Aromen, perfekte Süße - und das Ganze mit extrem viel Holz und v.a. Rauch. Definitiv nichts für jeden, aber wenn er einem schmeckt, dann so richtig!

Not as good as the original and is more expensive. Really not what I was expecting.

Very sweet...not tasting any cask or aging barrel. Just a true rum flavor with a very light alcohol after taste. If you are a sweet rum fan this is about as good as it gets. If you like the heavy more distinct flavors of oak aged rums this will not do it for you. Truly not a big difference between this and Ron Zacapa 23. I like it!
