this one is really near to the Zacapa 23, with slightly different notes of flavor i like it
Purchased this to complete the trilogy of 23, XO, EN. I'm not a fan of smoky whisky's and this being aged in double charred barrels has a quite distinguishable level of smokiness. If that's your thing I'm sure you'll love it.
Sadly, it seems this Zacapa hasn't been subject to one of the many hydrometer tests, but given their propensity for loading their rums with sugars and whatnot, I wouldn't be surprised.
I rated Zacapa's 23 Solera quite highly, not knowing that that taste I loved wasn't, in fact, a fully natural taste (I do intend to go back and change my rating). Now that I know, premium rums that almost certainly have additives like sugar without any kind of labeling automatically lose three points... meaning I will never rate them more than a 7, even if I otherwise enjoy them.
Sadly, even with the likely additives, this one is not amongst their best. It is smokey, which technically I should enjoy because I love a good peat bomb scotch (Octomore 08.3 is a holy grail of mine), but this is missing another aspect of that flavor. In a scotch, a peat bomb isn't just smokey... it also has umami. That is, there's a savoriness to it. (I wonder if peat is another natural source of MSG.) This is missing that completely. It isn't peaty... it's just smokey... like what the smoke from your fireplace might taste like if you (hopefully accidentally) inhaled it.
Then there's the expected sweetness that you always get with a Zacapa rum, but in this case it kind of clashes with the smokiness rather than works with it.
If you're going to get a Zacapa, their 23 Solera is much better. If you want to try this one, then go for it, but hopefully you can find it at a much better (lower) price...
Color dark light, soft aroma of fruit, too Mach dry for a dark rum.
Taste is very smooth, pleasent and very smoky. I like it a lot.
En god och välbalanserad rom med fin sötma och mycket eftersmak. Man känner att det är en zacapa men rökigheten har jag lite svårt för efter första glaset. Jag återkommer säkert med en ny recension efter jag har druckit den ett tag. Efter första sekunderna i munnen då hjärnan säger till mig att det är whiskey jag dricker så smakar den ljuvligt!
lukt og smak av vanilje. i tillegg en god ettersmak av røyk, uten at den er for sterk.
This one was a bit on the smoky side for me. Prefer the 23.
Not sweet, vey pleseant. A lot of oak with gentle bitterness and dark chocolate. Dried apricot in the nose or maybe some plum? The fruit is hidden behind dry brown sugar and the wood. A lot of intense herbal aroma. Also burnt toast and cold cigar ash.

Très fumé comme rhum

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.
