Hated to tell my friend I didn’t like it, especially when I found it it’s more expensive than Solare 23 (which I’m not fond of either). I just plain did not like the flavor. Will likely give it a go again but not soon.

When you want a variation. Aged in double charred American oak casks. The bite is too much for some. It does have some leather and tobacco overtones from the double char. Good smoke on a good rum.

Superbly tasty, very strong tobacco notes, and not as sweet as the standard Zacapa 23. Quite a unique flavour amongst rums and worth trying, but I’d probably still take the standard 23 at the same price point.

Nose: nice scent of oak and some smoke. More intense than the Zacapa XO
Palate: very woody and a bit smoky, some chocolate too. Aromatic, some interesting roughness, full, long lasting taste.
Probably the most ‚barrique‘ rum I‘ve tasted so far. But also some unnecessary harshness. A bit more interresting than the Zacapa XO.

As others stated before: edition negra is not the same as etiqueta negra. I‘ve tasted etiqueta negra a few years ago, but, unfortunately, took no notes. So, no real comparsion possible for me.
I got the chance to buy my bottle of edition negra in a duty-free area. There, the price was okay, but the regular price is way too high. You can find lower-priced rums with even more complex and amazing aromes. Diageo is trying to beat the maximum out of the well known brand Zacapa. 35% cheaper would be the right place in the scale.

Zacapa: a name that is worth a million. Can it deliver on the expectations? In my humble opinion, I don't think that this limited / selected version of the Zacapa family of Rum is worth the extra buck that they charge. As a general remark, I like Zacapa, but I don't see much of a difference between this version and the Solera 23 (maybe a bit more oaky).
To the nose: oaky and I like that, slightly smoky, then sugar cane, it's a bit dry, some spices too and maybe a hint of lime. Reminds me of Solera 23, but this is much better, more complex.
Taste notes: ok, here it resembles much more to the Solera 23, seems pretty much the same, just the sugary notes get more intense, honey is abundant, oak is still there, some liquorice too, but there is nearly no dryness. The alcohol is almost disappeared... definitely not very long lasting.
As predictable, nearly no finish, negligible persistance.

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.
