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

Nice offering from Zacapa, a nice step up from the Zacapa 23. Not quite as smooth as the Zacapa XO. The Edicion Negra is decently sweet, but has a little burn to it. It softens up nicely with ice.

I first spotted this at an airport duty free some years back. Afterwards, I asked a local liquor store to order in a couple bottles for me - and got them for a little bit cheaper (~US$45) even than Zacapa 23. It was a delightful find - the added smokiness and whisky-like character elevated a great sipping rum base even further, and over a few years I went through two bottles of my own, and gifted an additional bottle to family.

Lately I've started looking into buying a new bottle - and right now I can only find it very sporadically, and then at a much higher price point (~US$80). So at the moment I'm not about to re-stock this one unfortunately.

Rich caramel color, sweet nose, smoky and sweet flavor. This rum has a bit of a bite at the end and a lingering flavor, but solid flavor profile. Probably best served neat or on the rocks.

Nicely balanced overall, but too smoky for my liking. Reminds too much of whisky and not as much of rum as I would've liked

This is a great Zacapa, a little bit smoky. Much better than the 23. It's more matured, more intensive and heavier.
It's between the old Zacapas and the XO. It's not as balanced as XO, but it's intensive .

Smell: oak, caramel, mandarine, some herbs and smoked BBQ, dry fruits (plum)
Taste: Starts with caramel, barrel/wood, dry fruits, then some smoke appear with some tannins. It tastes like BBQ smoke, not like ash or islay finish.
I like this tasty smoked aroma.
Finish: spice, date, burned sugar, wood and some smoke

Sweetness: 3/5
Spice: 3/5
Fruits: 3/5
Mildness: 3.5/5
Value (47€): 4/5
Experience level: professional

My top 10 Zacapas:
Aniversario 30
Zacapa XO
Edition Negra
Royal (too expensive)
Limitada 2019
Zacapa 23

A typical Zacapa, but with smokey notes.
A great choice for the whisky fans out there...

Schönes Mahagoni mit Kupferreflektionen im Glas.
In der Nase tief und satt. Düfte von angesengtem Holz und auf einem Lagerfeuer gebranntem Karamell erreichen den Riechkolben zuerst, gefolgt von kandierten Früchten die auf feuchten Moos langsam zergehen, Lakritzstangen die mit Kakao bestäubt sind lassen das Wasser im Mund zusammenlaufen.
Im Gaumen sehr zart, elegant und mundfüllend. Die Aromen müssen sich durch den Solera Einheitsbrei kämpfen, Holzaromen ertrinken im Karamell, das Karamell wird mit Schokolade übergossen, die Schokolade wird mit einer Holzkelle eingerührt, Vanille, Gewürze und ein Lagerfeuer sind als Passagiere dabei.
Im Abgang, ja da passiert es ! Das volle Raucharoma kommt gewaltig rüber aber nicht so Whisky artig sondern eher BBQ mässig. Karamell, kandierte Früchte, etwas Holz und Vanille schauen auch vorbei.
Hey Zacapa, super gemacht, schön das Ihr nicht so tief in die Zuckerdose gegriffen habt !
Ein mittelsüsser Rum der spass macht, Einsteiger entzückt und Liebhaber begeistert. Nach meinem Geschmack der beste Zacapa.

Beautiful mahogany with copper reflections in the glass.
Deep and full-bodied in the nose. Fragrances of singeing wood and caramel burnt on a campfire reach the olfactory bulb first, followed by candied fruits that slowly melt on moist moss, liquorice sticks that are sprinkled with cocoa let the water run in the mouth.
On the palate very delicate, elegant and mouth-filling. Aromas have to fight their way through the Solera standard mush, wood aromas drown in the caramel, the caramel is covered with chocolate, the chocolate is stirred with a wooden ladle, vanilla, spices and a bonfire are present as passengers.
In the aftertaste, yes there it happens ! The full smoke aroma comes over enormous but not so whisky style but rather BBQ like. Caramel, candied fruits, some wood and vanilla are also coming over.
Hey Zacapa, well done, nice that you didn't reach so deep into the sugar bowl !
A medium sweet rum that makes fun, beginners delighted and lovers enthusiastic. According to my taste the best Zacapa.

Great aroma with a smooth, lingering taste that doesn’t disappoint. A bit sweet at the onset which keeps this from being rated higher but the flavors come through in the end. Dark color helps to make this a total package of sight, smell, and taste. Another great edition to my collection.

Dark good looking colour on this one. Nose: coffee, dark chocolate and burnt sugar. Palate: coffee, cacao and brown sugar.
